Not exactly. A source tarball is an archive of the sources made with the Unix
`tar` program; we distribute two variants, gnucash-4.6.tar.bz2 and
gnucash-4.6.tar.gz; the trailing extensions indicate the compression method
used.
It looks like much of that page dates from GnuCash 2.6 that used an earlier
version of Guile than we use now. You don't really need that though. What you
need is to set up two environment variables, $Env:GUILE_LOAD_PATH and
$Env:GUILE_COMPILED_LOAD_PATH:
(Assuming Powershell)
$Env:GUILE_LOAD_PATH="c:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\share\guile\2.2;c:\Program
Files (x86)\gnucash\share\guile\site\2.2"
$Env:GUILE__COMPILED_LOAD_PATH="c:\Program Files
(x86)\gnucash\lib\guile\2.2\ccache;c:\Program Files
(x86)\gnucash\lib\guile\2.2\site-ccache"
Also adjust your path to include "c:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin"
With that setup a guile instance run from that shell should be able to find all
of the modules it needs. Note that none of this is needed for GnuCash to
execute your config-user.scm as it sets up the paths for itself.
