Buiding Gnucash for Ubuntu

This is how I built it (for 10.04)

• From here: wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)
  • sudo aptitude build-dep gnucash
  sudo aptitude install texinfo subversion intltool libdbi0-dev libdbd-{sqlite3,pgsql,mysql} guile-1.8 guile-1.8-dev doxygen libwebkit-dev
  • Configure Guile:
  • cd /usr/share/guile/1.8; sudo ln -s ../../slib slib; sudo guile -c "(use-modules (ice-9 slib)) (require 'new-catalog)"
• We also need some other things:
  • sudo apt-get install -y libtool
  • sudo apt-get install -y libdbi0-dev libdbd-mysql libdbd-mysql libwebkit-dev needed for configure
• Find the tag to install from: svn.gnucash.org/trac/browser#gnucash/tags
  • mkdir -p ~/code/gnucash
  • svn checkout http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/tags/2.4.10 ~/code/gnucash/gnucash-2.4.10
  • svn checkout http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash-docs/tags/2.4.1 ~/code/gnucash/gnucash-docs-2.4.1
• Build it
  • cd ~/code/gnucash/gnucash-2.4.10
  • ./autogen.sh
  • ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnucash --disable-error-on-warning --enable-compile-warnings --with-html-engine=webkit
  • make ...takes a while
  • sudo rm -Rf /opt/gnucash
  • sudo make install
• Build docs
  • cd ~/code/gnucash/gnucash-docs-2.4.1
  • ./autogen.sh
  • ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnucash
  • make
  • sudo make install
