This directory is intended to hold any external code that is needed in

order to build gnucash, but isn't considered widely available.

gtkhtml: gtkhtml is the soon-to-be-released replacement for the
|
|
|
|
|
gtk-xmhtml widget that gnucash has used up to now. It has a few nifty
|
|
|
|
|
new features. The most important one for gnucash's purposes is that
|
|
|
|
|
it has direct support for gnome-print, which means that we can now get
|
|
|
|
|
nice-looking printouts of reports and help documents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It also works as an HTML editor, but I haven't tried that yet; might
|
|
|
|
|
be nice for future stuff like "live" report editing.

YOU HAVE TO BUILD AND INSTALL GTKHTML BEFORE TRYING TO BUILD GNUCASH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I suggest that you install it using the same $prefix you use to
|
|
|
|
|
install gnucash.

|

Building and installing gtkhtml:
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default configure options for gtkhtml depend on the 'oaf' and
|
|
|
|
|
'gconf' packages, which are not yet available/functional, and we don't
|
|
|
|
|
need their functionality. It's important to turn them off in the
|
|
|
|
|
configure step. --without-gconf turns them both off.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your gnucash install prefix is $prefix,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd gtkhtml
|
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh --prefix=$prefix --without-bonobo --without-gconf
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
export GNOME_PATH=$prefix
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'export GNOME_PATH' is critical if you are installing gtkhtml
|
|
|
|
|
somewhere besides /usr ; without it, the gnome-config script that
|
|
|
|
|
gnucash's configure depends on won't know that gtkhtml is installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have built and installed gtkhtml correctly, you should be able
|
|
|
|
|
to run the command 'gnome-config --libs gtkhtml' and see some
|
|
|
|
|
semi-meaningful output. If it reports 'Unknown library gtkhtml' you
|
|
|
|
|
need to make sure GNOME_PATH is set to your $prefix for gtkhtml.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once gnome-config reports the correct locations for gtkhtml, you can
|
|
|
|
|
go through the normal gnucash configure/build process.
