02:04:17 *** Bille has joined #gnucash
02:05:13 <Bille> morning. i'm trying to fix a bug in suse, gnucash calls susehelp ghelp://path/to/docs
02:05:21 <Bille> but suse rewrites that to help:/
02:05:46 <Bille> are both help:/ and ghelp:/ recognised help URI schemes in gnome?

09:52:11 *** BlackBsd has quit IRC
09:53:40 <administrator> does anybody know why "gbf-am-parse --get $HOME/development/gnucash" produce such error warnings ?
09:53:42 <administrator> Could it be that the makefiles of gnucash are somehow incompatible ?

09:54:11 <andi5> please stop flooding this channel
09:54:12 <administrator> ....
09:54:27 <andi5> please use pastebin!
09:55:58 <andi5> gnucash's makefiles are generated by automake, probably 1.10 in case of the tarballs
10:01:09 <administrator> only for information.
10:01:10 <administrator> that was only 1% of the error warrning messages.
10:01:12 <administrator> the strange thing of this messages are the variables like
10:01:13 <administrator> $(GUI_SUBDIRS), $(GUI_SUBDIRS_1), $(NONGUI_SUBDIRS)
10:01:15 <administrator> ../gnucash/src/report/$(GUI_SUBDIRS)/Makefile.am
10:01:16 <administrator> ../gnucash/src/$(GUI_SUBDIRS_1)/Makefile.am
10:01:18 <administrator> ../gnucash/src/$(NONGUI_SUBDIRS)/Makefile.am
10:03:01 <andi5> administrator: gbf-am-parse seems to be too simple-minded.... it regards SUBDIRS as a fixed list of directories without substituted variable contents
10:07:15 <administrator> sorry if i dont understand exactly what you want to tell me.
10:07:16 <administrator> whats exactly is the difference as a example between a folder like "gnome-build" that is parsed with the command
10:07:18 <administrator> gbf-am-parse --get ../development/gnome-build without any problems
10:07:19 <administrator> and a folder like "gnucash" that is also parsed with
10:07:21 <administrator> gbf-am-parse --get ../development/gnucash
10:07:22 <administrator> and produce this error warning messages
10:08:49 <andi5> the source code and automake instructions?
10:09:10 <andi5> oh, and a lot more
10:12:21 <andi5> administrator: and please note that there are Makefile.am, Makefile.in and Makefile files, all produced by something different (human, automake, config.status (configure)) and for something different (automake, config.status, make)
10:24:46 <administrator> andi5: you have tell me that gbf-am-parse regards SUBDIRS as a fixed list of directories without substituted variable contents.
10:24:47 <administrator> can you show me a such a folder with substituted variable content.
10:24:49 <administrator> What exactly is a folder with substituted variable content ?
10:25:23 <andi5> have you actually taken a look at src/Makefile.am, SUBDIRS?
10:27:58 <administrator> do you mean the first line of the gnucash file ?
10:28:00 <administrator> "SUBDIRS = . doc lib src intl-scm packaging po accounts checks"
10:28:38 <andi5> SRC/Makefile.am, not Makefile.am
10:32:23 <administrator> ok i belive i have now what you mean !
10:32:24 <administrator> It must be this line here
10:32:25 <administrator> "DIST_SUBDIRS = $(NONGUI_SUBDIRS) $(GUI_SUBDIRS_1) report $(GUI_SUBDIRS_2)"
10:32:27 <administrator> The Variables of this line are defined at the top of the file as follows
10:32:28 <administrator> "NONGUI_SUBDIRS = \
10:32:30 <administrator> doc \
10:32:31 <administrator> pixmaps \ ..."
10:33:16 *** Rolf has quit IRC
10:40:06 <administrator> andi5: do i have now the right file with the right Lines ?
10:40:07 <administrator> If yes why can gbf-am-parse parse the subdirs of the file "../gnucash/makefile.am" without any problems
10:40:09 <administrator> but fails to parse the subdirs of the file "../gnucash/src/makefile.am".
10:40:10 <administrator> Could it be that the second file use a non gnu autobuild method ?
10:40:54 <andi5> administrator: what is a "non gnu autobuild method"? .... we are using standard tools and methods, please take this problem to the gbf-am-parse devs
10:51:10 <administrator> a non gnu autobuild method is for example if somebody use speces in a makefile instead tabs at the beginning of a line.
10:51:13 <administrator> Such a syntax error has allready produced bigg error messages while trying importing gnucash with gnome-build.
10:51:14 <administrator> If i am not wrong this syntax error was allready fixed by warlord this week.
10:54:14 <andi5> (i like definitions by examples ... nice) ... so did you ask the gbf-am-parse devs?
11:01:32 <administrator> here is the conversation between me and warlord about the syntax error in the makefile which coused gbf-am-parse to abort the import process.
11:01:34 <administrator> search for the first post of administrator
11:01:35 <administrator> http://lists.gnucash.org/logs/2007-05-20.html
11:05:28 <administrator> using standard tools and methods dont mean writing makefiles without any rules and standards !
11:07:01 <administrator> why is in the file /gnucash/makefile.am the subfolders defined in a another method as in the file "gnucash/src/makefile.am"
11:07:41 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
11:08:06 <warlord> administrator: because not all subdirs are built every time. Some subdirs are only built in some configurations, based on your configure options.
11:08:48 <warlord> administrator: if you're having a problem with gbf-am-parse you should talk to them, not us.
11:08:55 <warlord> It's a bug in their tool.
11:08:57 <warlord> bye
11:08:59 *** warlord is now known as warlord-afk
11:09:19 <jsled> gncbot: tell BlackBsd that the gnucash-2.0.5.ebuild should do a good job of handling all of guile, g-wrap and slib.
11:09:19 <gncbot> jsled: The operation succeeded.
11:10:08 <jsled> Bille2: I don't have high-quality information for you, but I believe we've seen that SuSE help:/-rewriting issue before. Either here in IRC or on gnucash-user.
11:10:54 <jsled> You might try <http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Alists.gnucash.org+suse+help+url+rewriting&btnG=Search>
11:28:14 <administrator> well thanks for the info till yet andi5 and warlord.
11:28:15 <administrator> It has helped me a lot to understand what files are responsible for this error warning messages.
11:28:16 <administrator> I will now try to get in contact with the gnome-build developers to ask what they think about this.
11:28:18 <administrator> thanks a lot for the help
11:28:19 <administrator> till the next time

14:15:25 *** Bille2 is now known as Bille
14:16:02 <Bille> jsled: it's due to a script hpj added to pre-generate and cache the html version of the docbook
14:16:28 <Bille> it assumes a couple of things that don't hold true in the case of gnucash, i've pointed it out to him
14:17:05 <Bille> if khelpcenter is called directly with ghelp:/path/to/docu.xml it parses the xml at runtime, and works, but is slow.
14:19:10 <Bille> if you have any info on whether what gnucash does - naming the base helpfile differently to the app/package - is legal, please let me know and i'll add it to the bug.
