Caveat: Check the dependency requirements in README.dependencies for the GnuCash version you're trying to build against what a particular OS release provides. Pay particular attention to the C++ standard level supported by the compiler, Boost, Cmake, and GLib. You can't build GnuCash 4.x on Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 because the compilers in those releases don't support C++17 and that's required for GnuCash 4.x and later.

Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible
Last build I did was on 21.10 (for 4.10-65-g7e4fcc7af+(2022-04-29)). Now running 22.04 but haven't built the latest release yet -- may be a bit before I do.

Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible
I'll add that maybe a note should be made for non-LTS (rather than provide special instructions) that GnuCash is available to Ubuntu repos from upstream Debian Testing that is current as of the Ubuntu release date. (or is that the freeze date?) So conceivably, since Ubuntu releases every 6 months, and GnuCash issues point releases every 3, a user on the non-LTS cycle would at most end up behind 2 GnuCash releases at any one time, but could be current at each OS upgrade. (though I think the packager is a release behind anyway to Testing, so maybe make that 1 or 3 GC releases behind respectively - still not so terrible.)

Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible
Ditto concerning Ubuntu versions. In my experience so far building on older versions of Ubuntu, you can stumble into a nasty nearly un-resolvable dependency hell. It *can* be resolved (best I have figured out so far) by pinning lots of packages, but that may not always be the best solution for everyone and is more of an exercise to determine if it 'can be done at all'. Save for the sheer satisfaction of having tackled it, there is little practical value. (more than likely, those held packages are used by other apps and you'll eventually have problems when you update them) As I understand, GnuCash supports whatever OS versions their respective vendors support. So if you're using anything EOL (even in between supported versions) you're on your own. If you can't upgrade to a supported OS, a Flatpak is now provided should you also need/want a newer GnuCash version than whatever is in your OS repos.

Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible
Rob There were originally breakout pages from the building on Linux for specific information related to various Linux distributions including one for Ubuntu. That seems to have now morphed into a general installation page for Ubuntu https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ubuntu and the Ubuntu specific build instructions seem to have diasappeared completely and what is there is now useless as it points back to the general build instructions for Linux (they were largely done on Linux Mint but I tried to make them as generic as possible). I think the intention was to collect all the Ubuntu related stuff in one point but that somewhat defeats the point of a breakout page for build stuff specific to a distribution, david Cousens On Sat, 2022-08-06 at 09:07 -0400, Robert Simmons wrote: > First of all, Impish is already EOL.

I either use the Flatpak version which is always updated with the latest release or I use David Whiting's script to build on Ubuntu ( https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2021-October/097864.html) - clones the git repository locally and as a newbie to building on Linux it was easy to follow and worked like a charm :-) Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible
First of all, Impish is already EOL. You will need to use a flavor of 22.04 LTS for the following. The documentation for how to build GnuCash is confusing and not all in one place. The following begins with a fresh install of Lubuntu 22.04 LTS. I use Vagrant so that everything is deterministically built once I have finished figuring out the correct set of steps. But, Vagrant is not a requirement; you don't have to use that. The patch used below is the following. Put it in your /tmp directory before starting. https://pastebin.com/qUmxyyLq sudo patch /etc/apt/sources.list /tmp/sources_list.patch sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash mkdir ~/opt wget https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/4.11/gnucash-4.11.tar.gz mkdir build-gnucash-4.11 tar -zxvf gnucash-4.11.tar.gz cd build-gnucash-4.11/ cmake -DWITH_PYTHON=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/opt ../gnucash-4.11 make make install I hope this helps.
