For a while, we've been using a "fake" version of goffice, copied into the gnucash source tree. Before I had said I was basically going to leave it in place for the next release, but there are plenty of good reasons to do so.
In any case, there's a bunch of constraints on this problem: * <=libgsf-1.12.1 and >=libgsf-1.12.2 are API-incompatible. * Very few targetable distros have libgsf >=1.12.2; almost none have libgoffice-0.0.4. * RHEL4/FC3 have glib/gtk 2.4, and pango 1.6; the requirements for libgsf and goffice are glib/gtk 2.6 and pango 1.8. As such, I've decided on the following: - Gnucash will include both libgsf-1.12.3 and goffice-0.0.4. - If the system has >=goffice-0.0.4, then it will be used, otherwise the gnucash-provided goffice will be compiled. In building that, if if the system has >=libgsf-1.12.3, then it will be used, otherwise the gnucash-provided copy will be compiled and used. - Both libgsf-1.12.3 and goffice-0.0.4 will be modified to build under glib/gtk-2.4 and pango-1.6 if necessary. As such, gnucash will depend on a real copy of goffice, either system-provided or gnucash-provided. I've made the necessary changes on the svn+ssh://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/branches/goffice-update branch. I would appreciate some testing, especially from you Neil. One thing to note is that this version initializes (external) goffice correctly and thus will display graphs; if you use the `Sample Graphs` report you should see 4 graphs (pie, scatter, bar and stacked-bar). I'd also love some testing on OSX, as I have no idea about that scene. I'm still working to get some of the configure.in changes integrated correctly; for instance right now it conditionally executes the relevent configure.in sections copied from the respective builds, but always creates their `config.h` equivalents as well as generates all their Makefiles. The latter isn't much of a problem, but the former means that '-I$(top_srcdir)/lib/goffice-0.0.4' is present while compiling the whole gnucash source tree, even when the external version is being used, which isn't right. Any pointers on how to do this would be appreciated. ...jsled -- http://asynchronous.org/ - `a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
