I don't see the boost checks in you CMake output and the error is complaining that it can't find boost filesystem. Make sure that's installed by your package manager, remove any existing installed gnucash so that the linker doesn't get confused, and start from an empty build directory.

Gosh! Heck! Yes! Information wants to be free. There is so much stuff out there it is hard to determine what is good information and what is not. It is easy to determine commercial stuff because sooner or later one will encounter a paywall, right? That is why Askleo is a great resource. Here's

James, you're getting some good advice in the responses you've received so far. May I add that it might be useful to review the Gnucash Tutorial and Concepts Guide regarding types of files Gnucash makes/uses. This is in Chapter 2 (Ver 4 Tutorial) called Backing Up and Recovering Data. There is

Sounds like a good enouh reason to take the leap. Do not fill is presumably the opposite of what I want, but if it shortened the list, it probably did so by filtering using a "begins with" type filter, which would at least help a little.  The problem with "keep typing to narrow it down" is I'm

Also as of 5.3 you can use escape tab to cancel match and move on with whatever you typed. Similar to how backspace tab worked in 4.x On Wed, Jun 28, 2023, 13:50 Adrien Monteleone < adrien.montele...@lusfiber.net> wrote: > I think 5.3 shortened the list and gave priority to most recently used, >

I think 5.3 shortened the list and gave priority to most recently used, as well as added a Do Not Fill option at the top. I understand keyboards vary, but you can use the arrow keys to navigate the list (or keep typing to narrow it down) Regards, Adrien On 6/28/23 9:23 AM, Dustin Henning

GNUCash does backups by default if you use XML. Every time you save there is a backup made. It sits in the same directory as your main data file (I wish you could specify a specific folder.) However, what the folks on this chain are talking about is a backup of those files in case the hard
