GnuCash
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
1998-10-21 23:44:12 -05:00
|
|
|
GnuCash is a personal finance manager. A check-book like
|
|
|
|
|
register GUI allows you to enter and track bank accounts,
|
|
|
|
|
stocks, income and even currency trades. The interface is
|
|
|
|
|
designed to be simple and easy to use, but is backed with
|
|
|
|
|
double-entry accounting principles to ensure balanced books.
|
1997-10-31 19:39:32 -06:00
|
|
|
|
1998-10-21 23:44:12 -05:00
|
|
|
Features include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- An easy-to-use interface. If you can use the
|
|
|
|
|
register in the back of your checkbook, you
|
|
|
|
|
can use GnuCash. Type directly into the register,
|
|
|
|
|
tab between fields, and use quickfill to
|
|
|
|
|
automatically complete the transaction.
|
|
|
|
|
- Reconcile window with running reconciled
|
|
|
|
|
and cleared balances makes reconciliation easy.
|
|
|
|
|
- Stock/Mutual Fund Portfolios: Track stocks
|
1997-12-01 05:59:49 -06:00
|
|
|
individually (one per account) or in portfolio
|
|
|
|
|
of accounts (a group of accounts that can be
|
|
|
|
|
displayed together).
|
1998-10-21 23:44:12 -05:00
|
|
|
- Multiple Currencies & Currency Trading: Multiple
|
|
|
|
|
currencies are supported and can be bought and
|
|
|
|
|
sold (traded). Currency movements between accounts
|
|
|
|
|
are fully balanced when double-entry is enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
(Some aspects of mutiple currency support are not
|
|
|
|
|
fully implemented.)
|
|
|
|
|
- Quicken File Import: Import Quicken QIF style files.
|
|
|
|
|
QIF files are automtically merged to eliminate
|
|
|
|
|
duplicate transactions.
|
1999-01-06 01:07:19 -06:00
|
|
|
- Reports: Display Balance Sheet, Profit&Loss, Portfolio
|
|
|
|
|
Valuation, or print them as HTML.
|
1998-10-21 23:44:12 -05:00
|
|
|
- Chart of Accounts: A master account can have a hierarchy
|
1997-12-01 05:59:49 -06:00
|
|
|
of detail accounts underneath it. This allows similar
|
|
|
|
|
account types (e.g. Cash, Bank, Stock) to be grouped
|
|
|
|
|
into one master account (e.g. Assets).
|
1998-10-21 23:44:12 -05:00
|
|
|
- Split Transactions: A single transaction can be split
|
|
|
|
|
into several pieces to record taxes, fees, and
|
|
|
|
|
other compund entries.
|
|
|
|
|
- Double Entry: When enabled, every transaction must
|
|
|
|
|
debit one account and credit another by an equal amount.
|
|
|
|
|
This ensures that the "books balance": that the
|
|
|
|
|
difference between income and outflow exactly equals
|
|
|
|
|
the sum of all assets, be they bank, cash, stock or other.
|
|
|
|
|
- Income/Expense Account Types (Categories):
|
|
|
|
|
These serve not only to categorize your cash flow,
|
|
|
|
|
but when used properly with the double-entry feature,
|
|
|
|
|
these can provide an accurate Profit&Loss statement.
|
1997-12-01 05:59:49 -06:00
|
|
|
- General Ledger: Multiple accounts can be displayed
|
|
|
|
|
in one register window at the same time. This can
|
|
|
|
|
ease the trouble of tracking down typing/entry errors.
|
|
|
|
|
It also provides a convenient way of viewing a
|
|
|
|
|
portfolio of many stocks, by showing all transactions
|
|
|
|
|
in that portfolio.
|
1998-10-21 23:44:12 -05:00
|
|
|
- Written in C, with perl, scheme and tcl support for easy
|
|
|
|
|
configuration and extensibility.
|
1998-12-28 03:52:09 -06:00
|
|
|
- File access is locked in a network-safe fashion, preventing
|
|
|
|
|
accidental damage if several users attempt to access the
|
|
|
|
|
same file, even if the file is NFS-mounted.
|
1999-01-04 00:25:17 -06:00
|
|
|
- Provides a byte-stream format, which allows accounts and
|
|
|
|
|
account groups to be transmitted to other processes
|
|
|
|
|
via pipes or sockets.
|
1999-01-06 01:07:19 -06:00
|
|
|
- Get Stock & Mutual Fund quotes from various web sites,
|
|
|
|
|
update portfolio automatically (more funds being added
|
|
|
|
|
regularly).
|
1999-06-21 09:42:13 -05:00
|
|
|
- European date handling, French and German translations.

Only the Motif version of GnuCash is currently functional. The Gnome version
|
1999-01-09 15:35:47 -06:00
|
|
|
will give you a taste for Gnome, but most functions will not work. The qt
|
|
|
|
|
version doesn't compile, most functions are missing. See below for OS's other
|
|
|
|
|
than Linux/*BSD support.
|
1999-01-09 01:28:18 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To be able to use certain features of GnuCash, such as reports and network stock
|
|
|
|
|
price downloads, you must have the following packages below installed.
|
|
|
|
|
RPM's for most of these can be found at http://rufus.w3.org/linux/
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999-02-01 02:00:35 -06:00
|
|
|
slib -- scheme libraries for guile. Need version slib2c0 or later.
|
1999-01-09 01:28:18 -06:00
|
|
|
perl -- Almost any version of perl5 should work. I run perl-5.004
|
|
|
|
|
eperl -- Almost any version of eperl should work. I run eperl-2.2.14
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, some perl modules need to be installed:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
perl-LWP/libwww-perl-5.36
|
|
|
|
|
perl-HTML/HTML-0.6
|
|
|
|
|
perl-HTML/HTML-Parser-2.20
|
|
|
|
|
-- these perl modules are used to fetch stock & mutual fund quotes
|
|
|
|
|
off the net. You can pick up RPMS at
|

The binary-only distribution of GnuCash comes with several executables:
|
|
|
|
|
one has Motif statically linked in, and another has Motif linked in dynamically.
|
|
|
|
|
The motif dynamic-link version requires that either motif or lesstif be
|
|
|
|
|
installed. Motif is a commercial product available form several vendors for
|
|
|
|
|
approx $50. Lesstif is an open source clone available for free. Note that
|
|
|
|
|
not all version of lesstif work with Gnucash: thhe the note below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1998-10-23 00:28:38 -05:00
|
|
|
The binary-only distribution includes two binary files: 'gnucash.bin'
|
|
|
|
|
and 'gnucash-static.bin'. The former requires a Motif shared library;
|
1997-12-05 01:01:19 -06:00
|
|
|
the latter has Motif statically linked in. If you have Motif,
|
|
|
|
|
then just run xacc. If you do not have Motif, then copy
|
1998-10-23 00:28:38 -05:00
|
|
|
'gnucash-static.bin' to 'gnucash.bin'.

|
|
|
Invocation:
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can start GnuCash at the command-line, with "gnucash" or "gnucash
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>", where <filename> is a GnuCash account file. Sample
|
|
|
|
|
accounts can be found in "data" subdirectory. *.dat files are GnuCash
|
|
|
|
|
accounts that can opened with the "Open File" menu entry. *.qif files
|
|
|
|
|
are Quicken Import Format files that can be opened with the "Import
|
|
|
|
|
QIF" menu entry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GnuCash responds to the following environment variables:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GNC_RUN_AS_SHELL - if set, makes GnuCash pop up in a guile shell
|
|
|
|
|
with all the gnucash functions loaded. From there, you can get the
|
|
|
|
|
normal startup behavior like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GNC_RUN_AS_SHELL=t ./gnucash
|
|
|
|
|
guile> (primitive-load (getenv "GNC_BOOTSTRAP_SCM"))
|
|
|
|
|
guile> (gnc:load "startup.scm")
|
|
|
|
|
guile> (gnc:main)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which is the same thing that happens if you don't use the --shell
|
|
|
|
|
option. This can be helpful when trying to write and test new .scm
|
|
|
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GNC_BOOTSTRAP_SCM - the location of the initial bootstrapping scheme code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GNC_SCM_LOAD_PATH - an override for the GnuCash scheme load path.
|
|
|
|
|
it should be a string representing a proper scheme list. Each
|
|
|
|
|
element can either be a string representing a directory, the symbol
|
|
|
|
|
'default which will expand to the default path, or 'current which
|
|
|
|
|
will expand to the current load-path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GNC_DEBUG - enable debugging output. This allows you to turn on
|
|
|
|
|
debugging earlier in the startup process than you can with --debug.

Important Note:
|
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
Core dumps have been reported when using various
|
|
|
|
|
versions of lesstif. Some versions work, others don't.
|
|
|
|
|
Lesstif 0.81: works
|
|
|
|
|
Lesstif 0.82: broken
|
|

Lesstif 0.86.5: broken
|
1999-06-21 09:42:13 -05:00
|
|
|
Lesstif 0.86.9 works
|
|
|
|
|
Lesstif 0.87.0: works
|
|
|
|
|
Lesstif 0.88.1: works
|
1999-03-19 10:46:41 -06:00
|
|
|
|
1999-05-30 23:18:49 -05:00
|
|
|
Note: some versions of XmHTML have been compiled with Motif, and these
|
|
|
|
|
need XmeDrawShadows to link and run. However, this is an undefined symbol
|
|
|
|
|
in most versions of lesstif. Solution: download XmHTML source and
|
|
|
|
|
compile/install it.
|
1999-01-09 01:28:18 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These core dumps do not occur with RedHat Motif (or other commercial
|
|
|
|
|
versions of Motif).

Building & Installing:
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
These steps does not apply to binary distributions; only to
|
1998-11-24 01:34:04 -06:00
|

Normally, to build and install GnuCash, all you have to do is:
|
1997-11-29 20:39:58 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# ./configure
|
1998-11-24 01:34:04 -06:00
|
|
|
# make
|
1997-11-29 20:39:58 -06:00
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999-06-21 09:42:13 -05:00
|
|
|
To build French or German language versions, or to enable European date
|
|
|
|
|
handling, you will need to examine & modify the contents of the /include
|
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1998-11-24 01:34:04 -06:00

|
|
You can build Motif, Gnome, and Qt versions. Currently, the Motif version
|
|
|
|
|
is the most stable, bug-free, correct, and feature rich. The gtk/gnome
|
|
|
|
|
version compiles and is being actively developed, but will take a while to
|
|
|
|
|
reach the stibility level of the motif version. The Qt version may not
|
|
|
|
|
compile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1998-09-10 01:04:28 -05:00
|
|
|
Depending on your make target, you'll produce:
|
1997-11-29 20:39:58 -06:00
|
|
|
|
1998-09-10 01:04:28 -05:00
|
|
|
gnucash.motif
|
|
|
|
|
gnucash.motif.static
|
|
|
|
|
gnucash.gnome
|
|
|
|
|
gnucash.gnome.static
|
|
|
|
|
gnucash.qt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whichever one you produce last ends up the target of a local
|
|
|
|
|
gnucash.bin symlink, so that you can always run the local ./gnucash
|
|
|
|
|
script to see the last flavor that you built. The ./gnucash script
|
|
|
|
|
also handles making sure that you're using files from the source dir
|
|
|
|
|
rather than an install tree just like the old ./xacc script did.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You'll use "make install" when you want to do a normal FSSTND /usr/ or
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/local style install where everything scatters across the
|
|
|
|
|
filesystem in foo/gnucash/* directories. You'll use "make
|
1999-06-21 09:42:13 -05:00
|
|
|
install-opt" when you want an /opt/gnucash style install where
|
|
|
|
|
everything installs into /opt/gnucash/bin, /opt/gnucash/doc, share, etc
|
|
|
|
|
dirs.
|

So the two most likely sets of build instructions would be as follows:
|
1997-11-29 20:39:58 -06:00
|
|
|
|
1998-09-10 01:04:28 -05:00
|
|
|
For a full system install (gnucash is installed as part of the
|
|
|
|
|
system):
|
1997-10-31 19:39:32 -06:00
|
|
|
|
1998-09-10 01:04:28 -05:00
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
|
|
|
|
|
make motif
|
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For an /opt style install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt/gnucash
|
|
|
|
|
make motif
|
|
|
|
|
make install-opt
|
1997-11-29 20:39:58 -06:00
|
|
|
|
1998-10-14 20:58:35 -05:00
|
|
|
Examples of other funny configure options:
|
|
|
|
|
configure --with-motif=/usr/local/opt/mootif \
|
|
|
|
|
--prefix=/usr/local/opt/gnucash \
|
|
|
|
|
--with-xmhtml-includes=/home/rlb/XmHTML-1.1.5/include\
|
|
|
|
|
--with-xmhtml-libraries=/home/rlb/XmHTML-1.1.5/src
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1998-10-26 23:12:39 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flag --with-gtk-config. The way gtk phiolosphy goes,
|
|
|
|
|
you should *only* specify the config program location and
|
|
|
|
|
rely on it to tell you the right CFLAGS and XLIBS values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Runtime and install destinations are separate. The --prefix
|
|
|
|
|
you specify to configure determines where the resulting binary
|
|
|
|
|
will look for things at runtime. The prefix you give to make
|
|
|
|
|
install (i.e. make prefix=foo install) only determines where the
|
|
|
|
|
files are placed. If this location is different from the
|
|
|
|
|
configure --prefix value, then gnucash won't work until it's moved
|
|
|
|
|
to that location. This feature is mostly useful for package
|
|
|
|
|
builders, but it shouldn't hurt anyone else.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only the location of startup.scm is hardcoded into the
|
|
|
|
|
binary, and even that can be overriden with --startup-file on the
|
|
|
|
|
command line. The other defaults are now in startup.scm.
|
|
|
|
|
path-defaults.h is now gone. The startup file setting is in
|
|
|
|
|
gnucash.h, generated from gnucash.h.in.

|
|
|
----------------
|
1998-09-11 01:34:04 -05:00
|
|
|
Robin Clark <rclark@hmc.edu> wrote the original X-Accountant in Motif
|
|
|
|
|
as a school project, taking it to version 0.9 by October 1997.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linas Vepstas <linas@linas.org> liked what he saw: the GUI was slick,
|
|
|
|
|
the code was documented and well structured, and it was all GPL'ed.
|
|
|
|
|
And so he re-wrote it: adding cell-widgets to XbaeMatrix, so that
|
|
|
|
|
the combobox and arrows would make an even slicker GUI, rewrote the
|
|
|
|
|
X-Accountant internals to add double-entry, an account heirarchy,
|
|
|
|
|
split out a transaction mini-engine, add support for stocks, and spiff
|
|
|
|
|
up the help menus. This was version 1.0 as of January 1998. Since
|
|
|
|
|
then, for version 1.1, the engine was expanded & refined, and the
|
|
|
|
|
register window code completely redesigned and made mostly
|
|
|
|
|
Motif-(and GUI-)independent. Did some prototype OFX work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999-01-04 14:07:08 -06:00
|
|
|
Jeremy Collins <jcollins@gnucash.org> publicized the GnoMoney project
|
1998-09-11 01:34:04 -05:00
|
|
|
widely and broadly, and then changed its name to GnuCash. Jeremy
|
|
|
|
|
created the gnucash.org web site, registered the domain, got the
|
|
|
|
|
initial GTK/gnome code working.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rob Browning <rlb@cs.utexas.edu> abused everyone for not using perl,
|
|
|
|
|
and then added guile/scheme support. Rob maintains the build
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure, is handling the whole guile/perl extension language
|
|
|
|
|
thing, and is dealing with configuration & configurability.
