GnuCash-1.8.10

GnuCash is a personal finance manager.

Install GnuCash by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome \
    --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-guppi \
    --disable-error-on-warning &&
make &&
make install &&
chown -R root:root /opt/gnome/share/gnucash/doc/html/html

Note: If you run make check before installing the package, you may need to do it as the root user so that the Slib catalog in /usr/share/guile can be updated.

If you want to install the Help documentation, and you have ScrollKeeper-0.3.14 installed, unpack the additional tarball, change into the GnuCash Docs source directory and issue the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome \
    --localstatedir=/var/lib &&
make &&
make install

--prefix=/opt/gnome: GnuCash-1.8.10 is a GNOME 1.4 application.

--sysconfdir=/etc: This installs configuration files in /etc/gnucash instead of /opt/gnome/etc/gnucash.

--disable-guppi: This compiles GnuCash without support for creating GUI graphs and plots. Remove this option if you have Guppi installed.

--disable-error-on-warning: The build will fail if you used --enable-hbci, as a warning is generated. This option forces the build to ignore the warning.

--enable-ofx: This parameter is required if you want to build in on-line banking support using LibOFX.

--enable-hbci: This parameter is required if you want to build in on-line banking support using AqBanking/AqHBCI. See doc/README.HBCI in the GnuCash source tree for complete information.

chown -R root:root /opt/gnome/share/gnucash/doc/html/html: If the package is built by any user other than root, the ownership of the installed documentation files are set incorrectly. This command changes the ownership to root:root.

The GnuCash package contains gnucash.
