Re: [GNC] Building Gnucash on Fedora 37 - "No package 'glib-2.0' found" error
I'm pretty sure it was a git checkout via `git clone g...@github.com:Gnucash/gnucash.git` . I was sorta pressed for time and ended up just installing the rpm package of gnucash which met my needs for python bindings - see https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/trying-to-build-gnucash-from-source-cmake-getting-no-package-glib-2-0-found/79234 for another discussion thread I started at the time. -Vivek On Tue, Apr 25, 2023 at 4:45 AM Geert Janssens wrote: > Hi, > > A late reply... > > I'm on Fedora 37 as well, but can't reproduce the error. > > I'm currently building the current stable branch though, not 4.13.

[GNC] QuickBooks to GnuCash Migration Script improvements
Hi, I recently made some improvements to the migrations scripts that might help those trying to migrate from Quickbooks to GnuCash: https://github.com/erikmack/qb-escape Even if you're not using GnuCash the instructions for Quickbooks data export might be helpful if you're trying to have a backup of data in a way that's more accessible (i.e. for use in Excel, Libreoffice, etc.) If anyone has time available, I think a possible improvement would be to find a way to make a packaged 'download and run' migration tool so non-technical folks can have an easier path for migrating data to gnucash without trying to install gnucash with python bindings, etc.. This might be possible with pyinstaller though the complicated part will likely be trying to also bundle a gnucash with python bindings setup within there too, and for each different operating system.

Re: [GNC] Please help
Can you try opening up a file browser (File Explorer on windows, Files on macos, etc.) in the directory you have your gnucash accounting file in and see if there's a .LCK file prepended with the name of your accounting file? You could try: - closing gnucash (make sure all windows of it are closed) - deleting the LCK file - re-opening gnucash. P.S. For anyone else migrating from quickbooks, I'm working on an improved script + better instructions for migration based on the LWN 'Escape from Quickbooks' article, though it's still going to be a rather technical process for now.

[GNC] Building Gnucash on Fedora 37 - "No package 'glib-2.0' found" error
Hi, I'm trying to build gnucash from source (rather than the rpm package or flatpak for python bindings) on Linux (Fedora 37) and keep running into an issue where on build I get the error: ``` -- Checking for module 'glib-2.0>=2.56.1' -- No package 'glib-2.0' found ``` What I've tried so far: - I've installed glib2.0-devel via `sudo dnf install glib2-devel` - I've checked via `yum provides */glib2.0.pc` which shows it is in the `/usr/lib64/pkgconfig` directory. - I've checked the contents of `echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH` which shows directories like `/usr/lib64/pkgconfig` are listed. - I've tried building gnucash with various different arguments, but similar to the directions in https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/CMake#GnuCash_Configuration_Variables & https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux#Build_using_CMake_and_Ninja I've tried in my build directory: `cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/opt -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=on ../gnucash-4.13` and get the glib error. It happens also without the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, just running plain `cmake .` in the gnucash source directory, etc. Any idea what I'm missing to get things to build?
