Accounting standard for "one month ago"

2000-08-10 Thread Robert Graham Merkel
As previously reported, I'm adding a new type of option for relative dates. I'd like to add a relative date for "one month ago". My simplistic definition for "one month ago" on m/d/yy is (m-1/d/yy) but this of course poses a slight problem on, say, the 31st of May. What should we do here, or s

Relative date option?

2000-08-09 Thread Robert Graham Merkel
Ok, one small thing that we need for reports is the ability to specify a "relative" date - that is "the beginning of the current month" or "the beginnning of the financial year" or "today", so I'd like to build a new option type to be able to select these, as well as a combination widget which all

successfully modified transaction report to use query API

I tracked down my problem to one of my own Scheme-C conversion functions. g-wrap is doing something with pointers which I don't quite understand, and I'll have to discuss with Rob B, but, anyway, I've got a workaround for now, and everything seems to work just fine. Have you had a chance to cons

A quick grep through the code reveals a bunch of unchecked malloc() calls. Is there any reason why they shouldn't all be replaced by gmalloc, which aborts with an error message if it fails? Robert Merkel [EM

Why are we hardcoding glib-config and gnome-config?

Rob, below is a snippet of gnucash's configure.in. I'm trying to figure out why GLIB_CONFIG_BIN and GNOME_CONFIG_BIN are explicitly set in line 180 and line 203 respectively. Is this a bug? It works fine for me with those two lines commented out. 180 # Let the user specify

Guys, will it be possible to import the old gnucash-devel mail archive into the lists.gnumatic.com archive? It's handy to be able to point people at past list discussions, and at the moment there isn't a complete record of everything I can go to (early July is not available at all, for instance).
