Re: [GNC] How to install GnuCash from Source for Linux ?
Thanks Frank I hadn't caught the implications of the changes of configuration locations with V3. I updated the information in the Building on Linux wiki largely from the 2.6 series with a few up dates when v3 was released. At that time John had been recommending an installation for single user use under $HOME/.local on linux. My personal preference and practice is to create a specific directory under $HOME, $HOME/applications to contain locally built and installed applications and install under that. I don't make it hidden so I am aware of what is in it but that is purely a personal preference. With the new configuration locations the contents that are in /usr/local/share/gnucash in an installation to /usr/local will be put in the $HOME/.local/share/gnucash along with the user configuration data that normally resides there. I just built 3.8 to install in $HOME/.local to check it out. The installation there runs OK and the configuration and program data coexist happily at the moment. AFAIK the installation process seems to include the executable location $HOME/.local/bin in the PATH environment variable. I will try installing in another location and see how it goes. "make uninstall" only removes the program information from that location and not the user configuration information because it is manifest driven but it is certainly not a good practice to mix the program and user configuration data. A user doing a manual uninstall could easily remove required configuration data with saved custom reports etc. along with program data. I'll bring this up on the Dev forum and see if we can get a consensus for a better location to recommend and then modify the wiki accordingly.

Re: [GNC] How to install GnuCash from Source for Linux ?
Take your time I am in n rush I understand GNC is different Th guys in the zoneminder forum have a few scripts but the stranded install is Ubuntu so Mint is easy for a clean new install but the program is in a published in a ppa and updating is easy Thank you very much Jimmy -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] How to install GnuCash from Source for Linux ?
Jimmy Missed one other point , if you are doing a local install in $HOME/.local you remove the "sudo" from the make install command as it won't need admin privileges. I can work up a script to do th install but it would take a couple of days, mainly to debug and test it, as I will be busy over the next day or so.

Re: [GNC] How to install GnuCash from Source for Linux ?
Jimmy I don't have a script to build GnuCash but I do have a script for intalling the dependencies. A build script wouldn't be too difficult to setup and could be pretty generic for all versions of GnuCash. I do have scripts for development builds in a development environment with various options on debugging etc but i have never set them up for building the stable version. It is pretty simple Assume you are starting with an unpacked tarball ina directory gnucash-3.8 for system wide install in /usr/localwhich has the sources in a subdirectory gnucash and are initially located in gnucash-3.8 mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DWITH_PYTHON=ON .. make sudo make install If you need to do a rebuild for some reason change to the build directory then type rm -rf * #clears the previous build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DWITH_PYTHON=ON .. make sudo make install You could put the commands in a these bash script and then run from the gnucash-3.x directory. There are other options to cmake ( see cmake help and the breakout page on the build options in the wiki. If you are doing a local install for a single user you would substitute "/usr/local" with "$HOME/.local" in the above.

David, by chance do you have a bash script to build gnc 3.8 using Linux Mint 19.3 ?

Re: [GNC] How to install GnuCash from Source for Linux ?
There are some .deb installation files that Stephen Butler produced for Ubuntu 18.04 which should work under LM 19.3 (search the mailing list for posts re debian should find them) https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux covers building from source of the most up to date versions. I currently have 3.8 built on Linux Mint 19.3 runnning with no problems. Once you get all the dependencies loaded it is generally pretty straight forward, but then I've been buidling it for ~10 years. Pay attention to the relative addressing of the source directory from the build directory in the cmake command as this is the thing most people new to building GnuCash have trouble with.

[GNC] How to install GnuCash from Source for Linux ?
I spent a lot of time to read some topic on internet, and i couldn't find anything "EASY" to help me install GnuCash (Newest version) into my Linux Mint 19.3. Ok, if i install it from Software Center, it's older version from GnuCash webpage, and if i install it from FLATPAK, it's prevent me to use "Ibus" or "Fcitx". Why GnuCash doesn't release a .deb or .Appimage for their users ? -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
