I'm trying to compile Gnucash 3.10 which has not been a problem in the past. The dependencies at present stress the use of GCC 8.0 >If I knew what problem gcc 8.4 is causing, maybe I could help get it working, >so you don't need to compile 8.1. I'm willing to give it a shot if I had more >details. I've compiled Gnucash 3.10 with GCC 8.1 abeit on another LFS(older). On my newer LFS it fails with GCC 9.2 AND 8.4 which as I mentioned I got working on the same system. I hope you're still with me. Anyway.. the errors that the compilers are producing, with Gnucash, look like compiler errors. Not missing libraries or fuctions etc. They are substantial and I could mail them if you can help. thanks again Cliff -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
