Normally, to build and install GnuCash, all you have to do is:
|
||||
|
||||
# ./configure
|
||||
# make depend
|
||||
# make
|
||||
# make install
|
||||
|
||||
You can also build GnuCash in a seperate directory, which is
|
||||
useful if you are compiling for several platforms from a
|
||||
single copy of the source tree:
|
||||
You can build Motif, Gnome, and Qt versions.
|
||||
Depending on your make target, you'll produce:
|
||||
|
||||
# mkdir BUILD
|
||||
# mkdir BUILD/debug
|
||||
# cd BUILD/debug
|
||||
# ../../configure --enable-debug
|
||||
# make depend
|
||||
# make
|
||||
# make install

sorry, no "make install" yet.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
The current version requires glibc2.0 (libc.so.6) to link.
|
||||
It uses the open_memstream() call, which first shows up
|
||||
in glibc-6.0.
|
||||
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
|
||||
install-opt" when you want a /usr/local/opt/gnucash style install
|
||||
where everything just installs into local bin, doc, share, etc dirs.
|
||||
I couldn't think of a better way to handle this, or I would have used
|
||||
it.
|
||||
|
||||
So the two most likely sets of build instructions would be as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
For a full system install (gnucash is installed as part of the
|
||||
system):
|
||||
|
||||
./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

|

|

Finally, I've re-worked things so that it's harder to accidentally
|
||||
install a binary that's stale with respect to your install
|
||||
destination, and I've eliminated the need for the wrapper script in
|
||||
the install tree. Unfortunately this did require that "make install*"
|
||||
re-build the binary during the install process because it can't know
|
||||
where the one startup file that it has to know about internally is
|
||||
going to be until you pick an install style.
|
||||
|
||||
All this may not be perfect, but I think it's better than what we had
|
||||
before, and we can always improve it once we figure out something
|
||||
better.
