Re: [GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

​ Hi all, I've re-set up my notebook this weekend because my hard drive was broken. The list of needed packages in Wiki for the Debian system is currently obsolete and I was looking for relevant packages. The list of packages from Dennis is correct, except of two packages: swig and

Re: [GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Hi Dennis, It would appear that swig2.0 has not been released for Ubuntu 18.04 but swig3.0 has. Generally you can often use updated versions of the libraries with GnuCash. It may not always work, particularly across major versions, but always worth a try. If it works let me know and I'll add a

Re: [GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

David One thing I noticed in the directions was the need for swig2.0, this was not available from apt while I was compiling on 18.04 and I had to search and find the newer version. While I was getting the dependencies while running 16.04 I was able to get swig2.0 from apt. So, may have to note

Re: [GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Dennis, The debian distributed GnuCash is compiled for SQL as well as XML, you just need to install the appropriate additional package(s), usually libdbi, libdbi-drivers, and mysql-client, pgsql-client, or sqlite3. For building you need to have one SQL backend installed so that the tests work.

Re: [GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Re: [GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Dennis, You are missing the third part of the cmake command when you type cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/dennis/.local which is why you are getting the cmake error. You need to append either ../gnucash-3.1 or /home/dennis/Applications/gnucash-3.1 on to the end of the cmake command

There are some non-Windows issues too, so it's worth waiting. Most people have their browsers set up to download to $HOME/Downloads, but wherever your browser sends the tarball is fine as long as you can find it. Once it's downloaded just say tar -xf /path/to/gnucash-3.1.tar.bz2 from your home

Re: [GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

The most common place would be to your home directory. It will create a new directory gnucash-3.0, so you'll adjust the tail of the cmake command to ../gnucash-3.0. I'm working on releasing 3.1 right now so you may want to wait a day and build that release instead. Regards, John Ralls > On
