How to install gnucash-1.3.0 on SuSE-6.3
========================================
(written 2000-01-07 by Peter Pointner <peter@wuzel.m.isar.de>)
(changed for gnucash-1.3.x 2000-03-01 by Herbert Thoma (tma@iis.fhg.de))
Notes:
- This is only one way to get GnuCash running on SuSE 6.3. 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 definitely for SuSE 6.3 (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 ;-).)
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 nana swig xmhtml xmhtmld gettext
and optionally
autoconf automake libtool
(You must install libtool if you have autoconf/automake
installed!)
+ from series x
xdevel
+ from series xdev
lesstiff lesstifd
+ from series gnm
gnlibs gnlibsd
+ 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/g-wrap-0.9.1..tar.gz
unpack and untar, then
./configure, make, su, make install
* Download GnuCash from
http://www.gnucash.org/pub/gnucash/sources/unstable/1.3.x/1.3.0/gnucash-1.3.0.tar.gz
and unpack it
tar xzf gnucash-1.3.0.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
* Configure, build and install gnucash. Installation must probably be
done as root, the files go to various places in /usr/local.
cd gnucash-1.3.0
./configure
make motif for motif version or
make gnome for gnome version (recommended) or
make qt for qt/KDE version (pre alpha, may even not compile)
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)'
