Re: GC architecture for backends
The QOFBackend interface is documented in the Doxygen docs. The rest of it, however, hasn't been well documented. I do not believe that gnc-engine.c should load the module -- it should get loaded elsewhere. If that's where stuff is being loaded now then I think that's a bug. I dont think there's currently a plugin registry of URI types. We might want to fix that, maybe. Also, we'll need to make changes to handle the fact that file:// should get redirected to sqlite:// -- but the code will need to test the file first to see what kind of file it is, so that File - Open does the right thing. I.e., the fact that we're using SQLite should get hidden from the user when we migrate to it. -derek Phil Longstaff [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've started to look at what is needed to put a new backend into GC. My first questions is if this is documented anywhere. I've needed to update a few different files, and wonder if it couldn't be improved so that each backend only needs to be known about in one place. For example, gnc_engine_init() in engine/gnc-engine.c needs to be modified to ensure the backend module is loaded and registered with qof. Then, xaccResolveURLs() in engine/gnc-filepath-utils.c needs to be modified to know about any new URI types (mysql://, sqlite://). Seems to me that after all of the backends are loaded, the engine should query all of the providers so it would know about the URI types.

RE: Compiling GnuCash on Windows
Well, I always get the Cannot find default values dialog on startup. (I read about that in one of the threads.) I've followed the setup as it recommends, and here are the entire contents of my .gconf.path file: The following lines were added by GnuCash. xml:readwrite:$(HOME)/.gconf xml:readonly:C:\GnuCash\gnucash\etc\gconf\gconf.xml.defaults ## End of lines added by GnuCash. ## The following lines were added by GnuCash. xml:readonly:C:\GnuCash\gnucash\etc\gconf\gconf.xml.defaults ## End of lines added by GnuCash. ## The following lines were added by GnuCash. xml:readonly:C:\GnuCash\gnucash\etc\gconf\gconf.xml.defaults ## End of lines added by GnuCash. ## The following lines were added by GnuCash. xml:readonly:C:\GnuCash\gnucash\etc\gconf\gconf.xml.defaults ## End of lines added by GnuCash. ## Looks like evidence of my repeated attempts -- yet I still get the dialog every time I start up. And if lines were *added* to .gconf.path, it appears mine was completely empty before they were added.

Another docs bug

Re: GC architecture for backends
Quoting Daniel Espinosa [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Also, we'll need to make changes to handle the fact that file:// should get redirected to sqlite:// -- but the code will need to test the file first to see what kind of file it is, so that File - Open does the right thing. I.e., the fact that we're using SQLite should get hidden from the user when we migrate to it. I think the URI mus be gda:// or db://, think that gda is wrapper for many DB backends not just sqlite. At some level we need to be able to specify what kind of database is sitting behind there. At SOME point we need to know how to specify a filename for SQLite vs. a host/port/user/password for PG. So clearly there's some differentiation there. But this is irrelevant to what I meant. What the user types into the File-Open dialog does not need to be the string that gets passed the GDA. I'm just pointing out that we need to intercept that input and handle it appropriately, which may mean adjusting the actual string and perhaps calling the XML or GDA-with-SQLite backends. -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [EMAIL PROTECTED]PGP key available ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
