as it doesn't load proper backend.
The cause was that the libdbi-driver path in CMakeLists.txt was wrong
and GNC_DBD_DIR was being set unconditionally in etc/gnucash/environment
with an invalid path.
Sets paths for finding componenents depending on the state of ENABLE_BINRELOC,
GNC_UNINSTALLED, GNC_BUILDDIR and whether any install paths have been set
outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
GNUInstallDirs changes the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR depending on the
operating system and distro. When CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is /usr,
/usr/local, or any subdirectory of /opt it also changes
CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_SYSCONFDIR to /etc. An earlier commit by Aaron Laws
mirrors the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR to the build library directory.
It's possible for builders to set any of the install directories
anywhere they please.
Setting any directory outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX breaks Binreloc so
the toplevel CMakeLists.txt now detects that and disables Binreloc.
If Binreloc is enabled then all path queries use it to find paths. This
works in the build directory because the gnucash executable and all of
the test programs are in build_directory/bin and LIBDIR, DATADIR, and
SYSCONFDIR can be found in the same root path.
If Binreloc is disabled then in order to build or run programs from the
build directory one must set GNC_UNINSTALLED and set GNC_BUILDDIR to the
absolute path of the build directory. When those are set GNC_BUILDDIR
replaces CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in all paths that are subdirectories of
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX; paths that are not in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX are
appended whole to GNC_BUILDDIR. This process is constent between CMake
and gnc_path_get_foo. GnuCash is unlikely to run from a DESTDIR without
Binreloc.
WITH_OFX, WITH_SQL and WITH_AQBANKING handling is fixed. The
dist files for these features are always included in the dist
tarball.
I added code for WITH_GNUCASH=OFF to error out when trying to
create a dist tarball. Not fully tested because WITH_GNUCASH=OFF
itself does not build.
Still need to backport fixes from unstable for WITH_PYTHON=OFF.
gtk-mac-bundler can't access the executable's rpath list so it can't
follow dependencies if they're not in $install_dir/lib from @rpath.
Autotools always sets absolute path install names so this should have no
adverse affects on other Mac builds.
While I myself asked for it to be retained a couple of years back
I now believe it really makes no sense to keep on carrying
a completely outdated rpm spec file around. This should not
be part of the source and properly up to date and maintained
rpm spec files can be found in each rpm based distro that ships
gnucash.
It is split into
- /libgnucash (for the non-gui bits)
- /gnucash (for the gui)
- /common (misc source files used by both)
- /bindings (currently only holds python bindings)
This is the first step in restructuring the code. It will need much
more fine tuning later on.
These are currently unmaintained, cutecash us based on the obsolete qt4
and gtkmm is only used by cutecash. Whenever someone wishes to revive
this experiment it can be recovered from git history and be brought
into a separate repository.
The resolves it's 'allmost nongui' status. Note the options code still
stores a pointer to a gtk widget but this is never used in the app-utils code
itself. This was already so before this commit and fixing this will require
more refactoring later on.
This commit also aligns the list of non-gui source directories between
cmake and autotools. This may need further tweaking in the context of
splitting the source in libgnucash and gnucash (the application)
They are both about handling core gnucash objects. Qof was once split out
in an attempt to make it a separate library. This hasn't worked out so there's
no good reason any more to keep this artificial separation.
A few considerations:
- The qof tests are merged into the engine test directory but they are kept as
a separate test entity for now. Several assumptions made in the qof tests
are no longer valid in the context of the engine. (For example if the
pricedb test is added in the same test executable as the qofbook test,
the book creation test fails because it now has 2 collections (pricedb and
book) instead of only one. There are plenty of others like this so merging
the tests needs more careful review and is perhaps best done while converting
to c++/Google test.
- I had to use unique names for the MockBackend classes because apparently the tests were
using a MockClass from another file in the cmake builds, causing several
tests to fail.
