Compiling gnucash on Windows XP
Dear Sirs/Madams, I have successfully compiled gnucash under windows xp. I changed the install.sh file to e:/soft instead of c:/soft because it did not work when I created the defaults.sh file It runs under one administrator account but not a second administrator account.

Problem Building gnucash
Hi All, I have just successfully built and run the successfully built gnucash on windows xp. One problem I run into was that I had to change the defaults.sh to use e:/soft instead of defaults.sh. A second problem was that I had to find docbook-xsl-1.72.0.zip manually. I downloaded it into the e:/soft/downloads directory and and then rerun install.sh for it to run to completion. I now have two installs of gnucash. One from running gnucash-2.2.0-setup, the other from my own build and install. See my other post re problems starting gnucash from the setup program. Thanks for gnucash unders windows xp. Keep up the good work.

RE: Stocks Capital Gains (Feature Request)
Well, since I haven't seen any responses I assume this feature doesn't exist yet. Is this an appropriate place to request it? Also, does anyone else even want this feature? It's pretty important to me, but I guess it would fall pretty low on a priority list if no one else is interested.

Just to be clear, here's my situation. I have an old mutual fund that has had periodic investments for the past 10 years and occasional sales. The original way I calculated capital gains for any sales was by using an average cost basis (figured with a simple spreadsheet), not first-in-first-out. It looks like gnucash does not have a built in way of handling this for a sale entry. Is there a plan to include this functionality? This also seems essential for someone who wants to close the books at the end of a fiscal year. If the person is using an average cost basis for tax purposes, the value to carry forward into the new books needs to be based on average cost in order to calculate any future capital gains properly, right? I've been puzzled by a few questions regarding using gnucash to track stock investments. The help file shows how to track the purchase, sale, and value of stocks. When recording the sale of the stock, one has to include an amount from Income:Capital Gains representing the profit on the sale. In order to know this amount, I need to track the cost of the shares. For stocks, Gnucash seems to track the cost and unrealized gains internally so that one does not need an account hierarchy like that shown in the help file for the Degas painting. How do I use gnucash to determine (possibly years and many individual purchases later) what my cost was for the stock? If I make a subaccount called cost, and use it in the purchase of the stock, it shows a negative value. Is this reasonable? The cash shows as still being in the parent investment account. In fact, the amount of cash in just the parent investment account would show the total cost of all stocks and cash in the account. This does not seem right, as I need to track the amount of actual cash in the investment account, too. In Canada, the commision to buy and sell the stock is added to the adjusted cost base. So I don't wish to show commisions as simply an expense account. Should I record it as an expense and then record another transaction from Income:capital gains to reduce the
Re: Problem Building gnucash
Hi Nathan, Sorry about the confusion, it is all my fault. What I meant to say was that I created a custom.sh file in the same directory as defaults.sh (in my case e:soft/downloads) and install.sh was still looking in c:/soft and sub-dirs for the files. Maybe I had custom.sh wrong. Anyway, I just deleted custom.sh, and changed c:/soft to e:/soft in defaults.sh and it fixed that problem.
