Guile path for scm files
I have edited my .profile file by adding this line to the very end. PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Documents Now with that in there I can in terminal type echo $PATH and get this return: david@david-Aspire-XC-605G ~ $ echo $PATH /home/david/Documents:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/home/david/Documents Supposedly when I chmod to make the hello.scm practice file executable and run from the terminal command line I should see the Hello World. As opposed to on the command line typing guile hello.world. When I type hello.scm in terminal command line, I get the following error. --- david@david-Aspire-XC-605G ~ $ hello.scm ;;; Stat of /home/david/?s failed: ;;; ERROR: In procedure stat: No such file or directory: /home/david/\u2013s Backtrace: In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 157: 8 [catch #t #catch-closure 1f48400 ...] In unknown file: ?: 7 [apply-smob/1 #catch-closure 1f48400] In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 63: 6 [call-with-prompt prompt0 ...] In ice-9/eval.scm: 432: 5 [eval # #] In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 2320: 4 [save-module-excursion #procedure 1f7ad00 at ice-9/boot-9.scm:3961:3 ()] 3968: 3 [#procedure 1f7ad00 at ice-9/boot-9.scm:3961:3 ()] 1645: 2 [%start-stack load-stack ...] 1650: 1 [#procedure 1f780f0 ()] In unknown file: ?: 0 [primitive-load /home/david/\u2013s] ERROR: In procedure primitive-load: ERROR: In procedure open-file: No such file or directory: /home/david/\u2013s --- Now without that line in .profile, I get file not found A friend told me I get te \u0213s from having a bad character in the .profile file in that added line. Well, I have typed it in by hand several times, copied an untouched .profile from my back up into the thing and still get the error. Also tried creating the .bashrc and the .pamenvironment file and I get the same error with those two files. Anyone know why I get this No such file or directory: /home/david/\u2013s ?? It should say /home/david/Documents I studied the Guile Reference Manual about %load and setting environmental variables. In guile load does not look in the path, it seems to only look in current directory for the file to load. I did copy and paste the hello.scm in the 2.0 directory where the Manual says scm files should be. Then I entered (load-from-path hello.scm) and that works fine. Thanks for any help and especially looking a a newbee proplem. ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
Re: I need some guidance
That helps much. I found a good tutorial for Scheme and am plugging away at it. It is way to complicated for me to even think of GNUcash tinkering until I can do some of my own coding with Scheme. I learned C to a degree, but moved to C# because, I did not get pointers. [let them kick my butt is more to the point].

I have been learning to use Guile and Scheme, but here is my mental block. Hi David, I can understand your confusion. I have been there as well a couple of years back. When you write code is Scheme script, are you literally building the Options, what I call a form, literally? No, this is all heavily abstracted. The report system in gnucash is a mix of C code and scheme code. The parts that actually draw the form and even define which widget (graphical representation of an option on the form) to use are in the C code. The scheme code related to options is spread over several areas in gnucash. First off there is src/app-utils/options.scm. This scheme file defines the data model for most options. Not how it is graphically represented, but what data can be stored in which kind of option. For example a text option can store a bit of text. A date option can store a date,... All this is in options.scm. Building on that, the kind of option directly defines how it is represented visually to the user. As said these graphical representations are written in C, most can be found in src/gnome-utils/dialog-options.c. Lastly the reports don't define the options, nor the way to present them visually to the user. Simplified you could say the options section in the reports is more like an ingredient list. It merely tells which options you want for the report of what kind of data they represent. This section is called the options-generator in most reports. The lower level code takes these ingredients and transform them into a form with option to show the user whenever this is requested. However although you don't define the graphical representation of the options, you do have some limited control over their appearance in the form: - the form is divided in tabs or sections. You can choose the section name in which your option is to be displayed. There are several predefined sections (like General) or you can invent your own if needed. This section name is passed as the first parameter in each of the gnc:make-xyz-option calls. - secondly within a section you can manipulate the display order on the form. Most reports use a single or double letter string to order the options. In the hello-world.scm report you can see these in each of the gnc:make-xyz-option calls as the third parameter. I have been looking at the Hello world .scm file while in a tutorial. I understand I can change the text in a label, but how did the label get on the form, where did the form come from, and the buttons on the form? All this is set up in C code based on the option description you pass in the report code. Is there a small tutorial that shows how to make the form and put controls on it? Is that even what is being done? Unfortunately I'm not aware of such a tutorial. Hopefully my explanation helps you understand this somewhat better.

I want to learn how to customize reports
I have been studying the process on this page: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports The first thing I run into is that I have to learn Scheme. So off to this page: http://www.scheme.com/tspl2d/start.html#g1546 where I am told I need a interactive Scheme system . I goggled that and got to this page: ftp://ftp.cs.utexas.edu/pub/garbage/cs345/schintro-v14/schintro_81.html#SEC87 That page tells me I need RScheme. I goggled that finally downloaded this. rs-0.7.3.4-b7.tar.gz I used 7 Zip to unpack that and now have a folder in my downloads rs-0.7.3.4-b7.tar and I can use 7 Zip to open that and see the files in there. What do I do with those files and folders? How do I install RScheme.? Is there someplace I can go to get an exe file to install? Is that even what I need for a Windows 7 64x system? If not what do I need to follow the tutorials on scheme.? I did download and install this mit-scheme-9.2-i386-win32 but I can not figure out what to do with it and was not sure it is what I need so I uninstalled it. I am off to a rocky start. Hahaha!

Re: I want to learn how to customize reports
I had Cygwin downloaded and installed and the Guile package installed also and was trying to figure out how to use it when I got the next few messages that said to use the command prompt and type in those two lines. I had to modify them to this for them to work SET GUILE_LOAD_PATH=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\gnucash\share\guile\1.8 %ProgramFiles(x86)%\gnucash\bin\guile.exe Then I went to the tutorial site and typed in items as directed. I attach a screen shot of the results. Looks like it works. Since there is only one user account on my computer right now, should I uninstall Cygwin64 from the computer? I do not need it for anything right now as far as I can tell.

Indeed, gnucash uses guile. So you probably want to work with that because each implementation speaks a different dialect. The downside is that guile is not a windows native package. So when you install gnucash it works well from within gnucash, but it's less obvious how to use it independently of gnucash. Here is one way you could do it: - Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) - Type SET GUILE_LOAD_PATH=%ProgramFiles%\gnucash\share\guile\1.8 %ProgramFiles%\gnucash\bin\guile.exe Eh sorry, that second command needs quotes: %ProgramFiles%\gnucash\bin\guile.exe Geert The first command makes sure guile finds all of its modules, the second will start an interactive guile session. I think you should better try to install cygwin and then install guile for it, using it's package management feature. Be careful with installing gnucash and cygwin under the same user account. From past reports it looks like this is a recipe for crashes in gnucash. If you want to go the cygwin route, please install it under a separate user account on your pc, and make sure it doesn't install for all users. As an alternative you can run Ubuntu in virtual maching (virtual box for example) That would also be an option.

Re: [PATCH] Budget report improvements (was Re: Budget reports)
Dmitry, Thank you so much. That is exactly what I needed. I can look at just one month now on a clean screen. I have not yet used anything except Default Accounts, but I will start that project after I send this. Good Work!

I am a new user of gnucash, migrating from Quicken. At the moment I am searching posts about Budget Report and this thread is the first on a long list. I am used to being able to set up a budget and then pull a budget report for a specific period of time, I mostly use the Monthly version, but at tax time, I use the annual version go get total actual s for different expenses and verify Income and withholding's on 1099's. The current Budget Report lists all 12 months on a form that has very little spacing between the months is is very difficult to read. There is no option to choose a time period in this report. After several weeks of learning the basics, I finally gave up trying to make budgets that mimic what I am used to. I just made one Master budget with all the accounts included, and if I want to look at income less expense for a specific Income/Expense set of accounts, I choose them specifically. But, I would like a report with Income at the top, next expenses, and then transfers from the income to different liability and savings accounts, as well as transfers back into the income section. Let me enplane. I have accounts that I an amount monthly for paying annual charges like property taxes and Insurance and emergency expenditures. So when I zero out my Income less expenses, I need to see the transfers to these accounts, and when I pay the expenses, have the transfer back into the contributing account show that transfer as part of the period income. The report would have Columns Budgeted, Actual and Difference and a total on the bottom that would reflect [Income + Transfers In] - [Expenses + Transfers Out]. Options would require choosing the accounts for the report, and a Period picker, at the minimum. I have no idea if this could be done with Custom Reports, but I am studying how to make custom reports.
