This directory is intended to hold any external code that is needed in order to build gnucash, but isn't considered widely available. ------------------------------------------------ Finance::Quote -------------- Building and installing Finance::Quote is fairly simple. It is needed to perform stock lookups with gnc-prices and other programs. It can be built after GnuCash if required. (If you try to use gnc-prices and other scripts without Finance::Quote installed, you'll get an ugly error message.) Building is simple. In the Finance-Quote-1.05 directory: perl Makefile.PL make make test (optional) make install (as root) This will install the module into the appropriate place where perl modules live on your system.
