Not really, no. :( At least none that I know of, but there might be something in the various doc directories of the source tree. Feel free to write docs as you go along. I know you would like us to make some of the code changes and submit them for a lot of these little changes, but it would make it a lot easier if we had something other than the hunt and peck method. Yea, I know. The code has never been well documented. There has been some effort lately to doxygenize the sources, but that only affects the C code, not the scheme code. -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
guile docs for gnucash
Is there any documentation of the guile modules? I have been going nuts trying to figure out some of variables, where they are originally defined, etc.. To add some business preferences such as company-phone, company-fax, etc. to be used in printing invoices, etc.. I have found 2 files so far, business-prefs.scm, business-utils.scm It seems that the variables are first defined in business-utils.scm, and exported from there (no errors generated from there). The business-prefs.scm file is used to feed the preferences dialog. Opening the Preferences dialog crashes gnucash complaining about an unbound variable. I have grepped thru everything but cannot seem to find out any other clues as to how to proceed. -- Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

Are you sure you ran a make install to get your files into the install tree?

No, you do not need to recompile, but you DO need to install the modified SCM files into the install tree (/usr/...). Having the .orig files in the install tree might be a bad idea, so you might want to remove them (or move them into your homedir or something). -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
