Re: Microsoft Vista Build Enviroment for GNUCash
Hi Nathan and all others reading this, Just an update. I found source code for bashdb, a bash debugger. It failed to install under msys. I switched to cygwin cammand shell. It installed OK. As a user, I installed the packaging directory, set the GLOBAL_DIR to point to my user space. bashdb.sh install.sh = install.sh: line 12: functions.sh: No such file or directory. ./install.sh = ./install.sh: line 105: /cygdrive/c/users/public/GNUCash_Downloads/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe Permission denied ie Both still produce errors but at different places. I appreciate the advice given so far and thank you for your willingness to help.

Re: Microsoft Vista Build Enviroment for GNUCash
Just a sidenote in this thread... I read in one of the previous posts that some parts of the install script fail under Vista because elevated privileges are required. Just a few minutes ago I read something in another forum about getting a cmd shell with elevated privileges, even as a normal user. I thought I'd share this here in case it might help. Go to the Start menu - Programs - Accessories and then Right-Click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator Maybe this is helpful, maybe not.

Hi Stephen! On 9/7/07, Stephen Grant Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Nathan, I have jsut read through all the questions and the replies to these questions concerning compiling gnucash on Microsoft Vista. I have reinstalled msys under a new directory using admin account. I switched to user account Stephen to install build enviroment. custom.sh now works. Thanks for your advice. In custom.sh I put GLOBAL_DIR=C:\\Compile_GNUCash\\msys\\home\\Stephen\\GNUCash and DOWNLOAD_DIR=C:\\Users\\Public\\GNUCash_Downloads I changed GLOBAL_DIR because the default dir is not available via a user account. I used svn client to put packaging into msys's /home/stephen/GNUCash/Packaging which is Vista's C:\\Compile_GNUCash\\msys\\home\\Stephen\\GNUCash\\Packaging install.sh = ./install.sh /cu/users/public/GNUCash_Downloads/msysDTK-1.0.1.ezePermission denied. Vista command prompt says sh: ... Access is denied Based on what Vista File Explorer is telling you, the user Stephen does not have permission to install software on your machine. You will either have to give Stephen permission to install programs (msysDTK-1.0.1.exe, etc) or use your admin account. install.sh does a lot of work for you to make sure that it has all the programs you need - this is probably what is causing your difficulty. Give one of those a try and do let us know what happens. Nathan PS: your problems with bashdb seem to be due to the PATH it is using to run install.sh - but your permissions problem is the real issue, not this. Vista File Explorer ask for an admin password before it executes the file. I have read the info file from Cygwin for bash and it suggests to install bash debugger or to use a command in a *.sh file to give the same permissions it has to any child proccesses. I have not tried either yet.

It was running well under Microsoft XP on my old computer but I upgraded to a new computer with Vista and i have not been able to get it working since. The precompiled 2.2.1 executable runs very slowly under Vista. I have downloaded and installed msys into C:\\soft\\msys and it works. I have used svn to put the packaging dir into C:\\soft\\msys\\home\\Stephen\\GNUCash\\Packaging In defaults.sh I changed the line to set_default GLOBAL_DIR c:\\soft\\msys\\home\\Stephen\\GNUCash your GLOBAL_DIR should be the directory where msys is installed, so c:\\soft should have worked...is there a reason why you are changing it? as I could not seem to do it via the custom.sh file. To use custom.sh, create a text file named custom.sh with unix line endings in the same directory where you have install.sh (probably C:\\soft\\msys\\home\\Stephen\\GNUCash\\Packaging\\win32) Put the entries you would like to change in as follows: GLOBAL_DIR=C:\\path\\to\\your\\new\\global\\dir What do I put in the custom.sh file to change the GLOBAL_DIR value? I have been switching between an admin shell and user shell to install the build enviroment by running install.sh in the Packing directory specified above. When one shell bombed out the other worked a bit more. It has to do with Vista's User Access Control technology. I have got down to installing autoconf by this butchering method. In doing so executable files have been going into 3 locations namely /bin /local/bin and /home/Stephen/GNUCash/msys/bin you seem to be having msys going into the able directory and to C:\\soft\\msys. This is due to your global_dir setting, as above - you probably shoudn't change global_dir. Try leaving all the directories as the default directories and see if that works. install.sh shouldn't be placing files around like that. I'm not sure if switching users is making vista give you more greif - you could try it all with the same user (admin or otherwise). Hope this helps, Nathan I have used synch toy to keep this three directorys the same. How do I tell install.sh to put them all in the same directory? Any further suggestions as to what to do will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Microsoft Vista Build Enviroment for GNUCash
Hi Nathan Thanks for your advice. I have since starting using cygwin shell under an admin account. Geert has also told me to right click a program and select Run as Administrator This has at least got rid of the dreaded Permission denied messages.
