01) 'configure' should be able to find the Guile library using the
|
|
leading "env LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib", even without having to
|
|
specify --with-guile=/usr/local.
|
|
|
|
02) 'configure' should check for the existence of the 'nana' package.
|
|
|
|
05) In register/table-allgui.h, the TABLE_PRIVATE_DATA hack is fugly.
|
|
Why not do what the X widgets do, and have
|
|
struct GTK_Table {
|
|
struct _Table corePart;
|
|
struct GTK_TablePrivate gtkPart;
|
|
};
|
|
?
|
|
Answer: that is more or less what that code does. Its meant to be simple, stupid.
|
|
|
|
06) 'configure' ought to figure out whether the malloc_usable_size()
|
|
function is available. When this happens, the ugly #if (OS)
|
|
statement in src/engine/util.c ought to go away.
|
|
|
|
07) 'configure' should find out if 'swig' is installed.
|
|
|
|
08) 'configure' (or something) should figure out that -lXm requires
|
|
-lXpm (and should also find libXpm).
|
|
|
|
09) 'configure' needs to find the Perl include directory properly: ask
|
|
Perl.
|
|
|
|
10) 'configure' needs to find Perl and make sure it's version 5.
|
|
|
|
11) When building, need to create
|
|
"src/swig/guile/obj/gnucash-all-guile_wrap.o" before building the
|
|
Motif stuff. Presumably by fixing src/swig/guile/Makefile.
|
|
|
|
12) In src/scm/startup/path.scm, gnc:_path-expand_ should be smart
|
|
enough not to ignore symlinks in the path, if they point to
|
|
directories. Presumably, this might be as simple as changing
|
|
"(directory? foo)" to "(directory? foo/.)" (or the Scheme
|
|
equivalent thereof).
|
|
|
|
14) The Perl scripts should have associated .in files for their #!
|
|
lines, because not everyone's perl is /usr/bin/perl. Also, the
|
|
blank after the "#!" should be removed, since not all systems can
|
|
handle it. At present, the list of scripts is:
|
|
./src/cbb/cbb-old-to-cbb-alpha
|
|
./src/cbb/cbb-to-xacc
|
|
./src/cbb/cbb-engine/CBBlib-auto.pl
|
|
./src/cbb/cbb-engine/CBBlib-auto.plp
|
|
./src/cbb/cbb-engine/CBBlib.pl
|
|
./src/cbb/cbb-engine/common.pl
|
|
./src/quotes/Quote.pm
|
|
./src/quotes/Quote_example.pl
|
|
./src/quotes/gnc-prices
|
|
./src/quotes/value_portfolio
|
|
./src/swig/examples/scan-acct.pl
|
|

Answers to questions:
|
|
---------------------
|
|
03) "Makefile.in" (and "Makefile.init") sets SHELL=/bin/bash. This may
|
|
be necessary for Solaris, but breaks (under FreeBSD 3.0) if
|
|
/bin/bash doesn't exist.
|
|
Obviously, 'configure' should find 'bash' and use it if possible,
|
|
or /bin/sh if it doesn't exist.
|
|
|
|
Fixed by AA.
|
|
|
|
04) Something needs to be done about all of the instance of 'long
|
|
long', which gcc claims ANSI C doesn't support. SWIG can't be the
|
|
only thing that can't cope with them, can it?
|
|
This is how 64-bit math is done on gcc, AIX xlC, other compilers.
|
|
Its there to handle 64-bit dates.
|
|
|
|
13) src/engine/AccInfo.c should probably be modified to support
|
|
'nana'.
|
|
Done
