Installing GnuCash Motif on a SuSE Linux Distribution
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Installing GunCash on SuSE is a little tricky. There are a couple of
|
|
necessary components missing. This README describes how I got I working.
|
|
|
|
This does not mean that it's the only (or optimal) way of getting GnuCash
|
|
ready. But there are several other options which are worse (and I happened
|
|
to "test" some of them...)
|
|
|
|
To get GnuCash compiled you will need
|
|
|
|
gnucash-1.1.25.tar.gz ("NOT REALLY??")
|
|
eperl-2.2.14.tar.gz
|
|
Xbaelin-4.6.2.4.tar.gz
|
|
guile-core-19980818.tar.gz
|
|
XmHTML-1.1.5-1-rh51.i386.rpm
|
|
|
|
The packages named above can be downloaded directly from GnuCash's ftp site
|
|
at ftp.gnucash.org. The rpm files can be installed using SuSE's YaST, the
|
|
.tar.gz files can be unpacked with tar xfvz file.tar.gz. They can be
|
|
configured and installed as described in their READMEs, I did not experience
|
|
any difficulties with them.
|
|
|
|
a1 libz
|
|
gra libgif
|
|
gra libjpeg
|
|
|
|
These are packages from the distribution from the a1 and gra series
|
|
(This is true for SuSE 6.0, on older versions they may be located
|
|
elsewhere). YaST installs the linker related stuff in /usr/X11R6/lib.
|
|
GnuCash won't find them there so you either edit GnuCash configure script
|
|
(then you're on your own) or you symlink the files like this:
|
|
|
|
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libz.a /usr/lib
|
|
libpng.a
|
|
libjpg.a
|
|
|
|
swig1.1p5.tar.gz http://www.swig.org
|
|
readline-2.1-5.i386.rpm http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/redhat/5.0/i386/readline-2.1-5.i386.html
|
|
nana-2.3.tar.gz http://www.cs.ntu.edu.au/homepages/pjm/nana-home/
|
|
|
|
These files can be obtained from their different locations. They compile and
|
|
install without any problems.
|
|
|
|
Then there was LessTif ...
|
|
To compile the Motif version of GnuCash, you will need LessTif, the freeware
|
|
clone of this GUI library. It's not the problem LessTif on the net, it's
|
|
rather the question of finding an *appropriate* version.
|
|
|
|
I had luck with the lesstif-0.86.0.tar.gz from
|
|
ftp.lesstif.org/pub/hungry/lesstif/srcdist/obsolete/ This one is stored
|
|
in a directory named "obsolete", but GnuCash or its components depend on
|
|
some calls which are kind of "gone" in later versions so you should
|
|
stick with this one. If you can get GnuCash running with any later LessTif
|
|
version, report this, so this file can be updated.
|
|
|
|
The file lesstif-0.86.0.tar.gz contains the source of lesstif which requires
|
|
several MBs of disk space to compile so don't forget "make clean" after
|
|
you installed it ;)
|
|
|
|
That's it! "configure; make motif" and GnuCash should be ready.
|
|
|
|
Have fun,
|
