Remove build-osx.txt, build-solaris.txt, and misc-notes.txt.
The first two are utterly obsolete and the third copies a mailing list conversation from 20 years ago about stock splits.

\section dependency Automake dependency
|
||||
|
||||
automake1.4 is NOT compatible with gnucash on OSX. If fink replaces
|
||||
a later automake during an update of other packages, you will need
|
||||
to replace with a later version. Fink will then remove automake1.4
|
||||
in favour of the later version. GnuCash has been tested on OSX with
|
||||
automake1.9
|
||||
|
||||
\section building Build advice
|
||||
|
||||
'make uninstall' may not be sufficient - when rebuilding in the same
|
||||
source tree, remove the installation directory with 'rm -rf'.
|
||||
|
||||
\section osxprepare Preparation
|
||||
|
||||
There are notable problems building gnucash with the default
|
||||
auto tools installed in OSX and even installing the GNU versions
|
||||
via fink may not be sufficient - OSX may still call the BSD version
|
||||
in preference to the newly installed GNU version.
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid these problems, you are advised to change your PATH variable
|
||||
in ~/.bashrc to put the Fink binaries ahead of the main OSX binaries
|
||||
in your path or export a new PATH in the script that calls autogen.sh.
|
||||
Instead of:
|
||||
\verbatim
|
||||
PATH=/usr/bin/:/sbin/:/usr/sbin/:/bin:/opt/local/bin:/sw/bin
|
||||
/endverbatim
|
||||
use:
|
||||
/verbatim
|
||||
PATH=/sw/bin:/usr/bin/:/sbin/:/usr/sbin/:/bin:/opt/local/bin
|
||||
/endverbatim
|
||||
|
||||
Then, when calling ./autogen.sh and ./configure, it is necessary
|
||||
to direct OSX to the correct Guile installation environment using:
|
||||
|
||||
\verbatim
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib CPATH=/sw/include \
|
||||
./autogen.sh
|
||||
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib CPATH=/sw/include \
|
||||
./configure <your configure options>
|
||||
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib CPATH=/sw/include \
|
||||
make
|
||||
\endverbatim
|
||||
|
||||
If (when) you do a 'make distclean', this whole process will have to
|
||||
be done again.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have to change automake or autoconf versions, make sure you
|
||||
remove the autom4te.cache/ directory before running autogen.sh again.
|
||||
|
||||
\section osxtools OSX tools
|
||||
|
||||
GnuCash recommends <b>only>/b> the most recent versions of each of the
|
||||
GNU auto tools available via Fink. As of November 2005, these were:
|
||||
|
||||
\verbatim
|
||||
10.3 10.4
|
||||
autoconf2.5 2.59-6 2.59-6
|
||||
automake1.9 1.9.5-1 1.9.6-1
|
||||
libtool14 1.5.18-1 1.5.20-1
|
||||
\endverbatim
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, these versions are only available in the unstable (CVS) version
|
||||
of Fink.

\section stock splits & cost basis
|
||||
|
||||
OK, here's a question for accountants of various different countries:
|
||||
What's the cost basis for a stock split? Does the rest of the world do
|
||||
it the way the US does it?
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
In Jan 1995 buy 100s stock for $10 per share
|
||||
In July 1997 split 2-for-1
|
||||
In August 1997, sell 120s stock for $30 per share
|
||||
|
||||
I believe the following is correct for the united states:
|
||||
My cost basis is $5 per share, and my gains of $25x120 are taxable
|
||||
as long-term cap gains.
|
||||
|
||||
--- would there ever be a case where the cost basis should be $10 for
|
||||
the first 100 shares, and $0 for the remainder?
|
||||
--- would there ever be a case where the gains would be considered
|
||||
'short-term' for some portion of the total?
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection Spin off stocks.
|
||||
|
||||
OK, that was easy. Here's the harder one: a spin-off:
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
In Jan 1995 buy 100s of stock A for $10 per share
|
||||
In July 1997 receive 1s of stock B for every 20s of stock A.
|
||||
Stock B is new, and will trade under its own new ticker symbol
|
||||
as of the date of this split.
|
||||
|
||||
-- What's my cost basis for B? is it $0.000 ?
|
||||
-- What's my cost basis for A? is it $10, or something else?
|
||||
-- Are these questions supposed to be answered by company A,
|
||||
or do I just 'guess'?
|
||||
|
||||
Note there is still an invariant:
|
||||
(old price of A) * 20s == (new price of A) *20s + (price of B) * 1s

\endvarbatim
|
||||
|
||||
The problem with proceeding to credit Cash and debit "Savings Goal" is
|
||||
that this invalidates any reconciliation of Cash. I'd be game to do
|
||||
this if I credited not Cash, but rather "Cash:Goals", a subaccount of
|
||||
Cash that can be ignored when it needs to be,
|
||||
|
||||
For different purposes, I will want both to consider and ignore these
|
||||
"funds reservations."
|
||||
|
||||
- When making up a <b>budget</b>, I care about what funds are reserved for
|
||||
particular purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
- When trying to figure out if my bank account is going to be
|
||||
overdrawn, "reserved" funds are <b>irrelevant.</b>
|
||||
|
||||
I would thus suggest that the "gentle user" use the budget system to
|
||||
manage this rather than having these be "true" transactions in the
|
||||
ledger.
