How to install gnucash on SuSE
==============================
(written 2000-01-07 by Peter Pointner <peter@wuzel.m.isar.de>)
(last changed 2001-01-09 by Herbert Thoma (herbie@hthoma.de))
Notes:
- This is only one way to get GnuCash running on SuSE. I did test
that, but there might be errors anyway, and of course you do all at
your own risk. If you find errors, you might report them to the
gnucash mailing list (gnucash-devel@gnucash.org)
- This is for SuSE 6.3, 6.4 and 7.0 (Intel). Earlier SuSE distributions
lack some required packages. Later SuSE distributions didn't exist
at the time of writing.
NOTE: You can install new packages to older versions of SuSE from
CD or ftp.suse.de or ftp.suse.com
- This howto is primarily intended for compiling from source.
If you install the rpm, you don't need the various dev packages
and you don't need g-wrap. (However, you won't see this howto
until you installed the GnuCash rpm succesfully ;-).)
- The current stable version is gnucash-1.4.x,
the current development version is gnucash-1.5.x,
the development version needs the latest GNOME libraries
to build, especially gnprint >= 0.23, gdk_pix >= 0.8
and gtkhtml-0.8, which are not included with current SuSE
distibutions. The easiest way to get the latest GNOME is to do
"lynx -source http://go-gnome.com | sh"
as root. At the end of this file is a list which helix gnome
packages I have installed at the time of this writing.
Let's go:
* Make sure you have a running system, including X. For my tests I
started with a default installation and removed some packages to
save diskspace.
* Install the following packages:
+ from series d
eperl guile swig xmhtml xmhtmld gettext
libxml libxmld
and optionally
autoconf automake libtool
(You must install libtool if you have autoconf/automake
installed!)
+ from series x
xdevel
+ from series gnm
gnlibs gnlibsd
for (check) printing
gnprint gnprintd
+ from series gra
imlib imlibdev
* Download slib from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/jacal/slib2c7.zip
and install it by unpacking it to /usr/share/guile (this will
create a sub-directory slib):
cd /usr/share/guile
su root -c "unzip -L /tmp/slib2c7"
* Download g-wrap from
ftp://ftp.gnucash.org/pub/g-wrap/
For the 1.4.x version you need g-wrap-0.9.12.tar.gz,
for the 1.5.x version you need g-wrap-1.1.4.tar.gz or newer
unpack and untar, then
./configure, make, su, make install
* If you want to build the development version, download Guppi from
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/guppi/Guppi-0.35.2.tar.gz
unpack and untar, then
./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome, make, su, make install
Guppi is not yet part of standard gnome distributions, but I expect it
to become more common soon.
* Download GnuCash
stable version:
http://www.gnucash.org/pub/gnucash/sources/stable/gnucash-1.4.x.tar.gz
development version:
http://www.gnucash.org/pub/gnucash/sources/unstable/1.5.x/gnucash-1.5.x.tar.gz
and unpack it
tar xzf gnucash-1.y.x.tar.gz
* Alternatively get GnuCash from cvs
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.gnucash.org:/home/cvs/cvsroot login (password guest)
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.gnucash.org:/home/cvs/cvsroot checkout gnucash
(this will get you the latest development version)
* The lib directory contains packages that are needed to build GnuCash
but are not widely available yet. Read the file lib/README for details.
* Make symbolic link for every file in /opt/gnome/share/aclocal
to /usr/share/aclocal (or tell me how to modify the automake setup
so that it looks in /opt/gnome/share/aclocal for input ;-))
* Configure, build and install gnucash. Installation must probably be
done as root, the files go to various places in /usr/local.
cd gnucash-1.y.x
./configure
make
su root -c "make install"
* You may need to run GnuCash once as root, because guile needs to set up
some things for slib. Alternatively you can try as root:
guile -c '(use-modules (ice-9 slib)) (require 'new-catalog)'
* If want to send a patch, you need the makepatch perl module, which can
be found at:
ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/authors/Johan_Vromans/makepatch-2.00a.tar.gz
unpack and untar, then
perl Makefile.PL, make, su, make install
