GnuCash and Guile 2
As of r22655 the development branch of gnucash can be built and run with guile 2. It still spews warnings and the environment variable GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE should be set to 0, so this is still a work in progress. It is important to realize though that this is only possible is swig is properly patched as well. I have submitted a patch here for swig: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752054 So build instructions in short: - download the swig patch from the above link (against swig 2.0.8) and build a patched swig - install guile 2 - checkout gnucash' trunk branch as of r22655 - you may need to update configure.ac to have it prefer guile 2 if both guile 1.8 and guile 2 are installed on the system - build gnucash as usual - run gnucash as GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 /path/to/gnucash It goes without saying that gnucash continues to work with guile 1.8. Feedback is welcome. For those interested, below are the warnings I still get: WARNING: (gnucash import-export qif-import): `gnc-build-dotgnucash-path' imported from both (sw_engine) and (gnucash core-utils) WARNING: (gnucash report report-system): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report report-system): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report report-system): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report stylesheet-plain): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report stylesheet-fancy): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report stylesheet-footer): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report stylesheet-easy): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports budget): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports average-balance): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports budget-balance-sheet): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports category-barchart): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports general-journal): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports net-barchart): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports net-linechart): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports cash-flow): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports register): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports budget-barchart): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports daily-reports): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports price-scatter): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports trial-balance): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports budget-flow): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports account-summary): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports balance-sheet): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports general-ledger): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports advanced-portfolio): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports income-statement): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports budget-income-statement): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports account-piecharts): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports portfolio): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports sx-summary): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports equity-statement): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report standard-reports transaction): imported module (gnucash app-utils) overrides core binding `N_' WARNING: (gnucash report hello-world): imported module (gnucash app-utils)

May be that mixing both types was allowed in guile 1.8 but not longer in 2.0 In file html-style-info.scm a vector type table was created. The lines for the abstract type are outcommented. May be that the hanging hash-fold should be replaced by a construction similare to kvt-fold.??? Rudolf In the file html-document.scm line 292 I have replaced hash-fold with kvt-fold so that this line reads now: (if attr (kvt-fold add-attribute #f attr)) The reports are working now!! Obviously guile-2 has different sorts of hashtables. Your suggestion about incompatible hashtable types was invaluable to get me past this crasher. GnuCash was mixing a custom hash datatype (kvt-hash) with a guile proper hash type. Apparently in guile 1.8 the internal representation was compatible enough to get away with this. In guile 2 this obviously changed. I decided to fix it in the other direction though: I have thrown out our custom hash datatype. It was only used in one file and I couldn't see any obvious benefits in it. Thanks a lot for guiding me in the right direction ! Starting gnucash within the console will result in a new compile process for the guile files. Besides masses of warnings there are some errors relating missing sw_*** files The lines (load-extension ..) in file core-utils.scm, gnc-module.scm and qif-import.scm should be replaced with (eval-when (compile load eval) (load-extension...)). In file app-utils.scm it should read (eval-whwn (compile load eval) (gnc:module-load gnucash/engine 0)). One error in business-reports.scm remains : unbound variable: gnc:menuname-business-reports which I do not understand??? But as long gnucash does not use these compiled files it is not very relevant. I still have to go into this, but again a very good starting point ! Geert ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
