00:50:24 <foo> warlord-afk: I had a payment I withdrawal from A/R to Checking account that didn't have any invoice... so I was pulling money when it was never put there... turns out the invoice I had was beginning of the year and was still some .doc file ... I just made it an invoice, deleted transaction, paid it, reconciled it, and now I'm set. Thanks for the help
00:51:12 <andrewsw> foo: that's the way to do it. don't mess with a/r or a/p accounts directly or you'll have trouble
00:51:48 <foo> andrewsw: yeah, I figure I must have done it when I was young and dumb :) at least, with gnucash :) But I know better for 2008.
00:52:12 <foo> hm, how can I spit out total amount in invoices from clients? Customer Report only shows payments/paid status and not totals for everything

16:00:18 <mmm4m5m> Hi. I am novice with linux (ubuntu), gnucash and building applications in linux. I have gnucash 2.2.1 (ubuntu repository), I decide to download/build gnucash 2.2.4 (because of some bug fixes). I did read about configure and make. I still need some small clarifications. Anyone would like to help me?
16:01:36 <andi5> sure
16:02:29 <mmm4m5m> nice, someone is awake :). So, I am trying to move slowly. I did not uninstall 2.2.1. Instead I did try to build and run version 2.2.4 from different location
16:02:50 <warlord> make sure you dont use /usr/local
16:02:58 <mmm4m5m> was it correct move? I did it like this:
16:02:59 <mmm4m5m> ./configure --prefix=/home/plamen/Projects/Modified/gnucash
16:02:59 <mmm4m5m> make
16:02:59 <mmm4m5m> make install
16:03:13 <mmm4m5m> but "make install" show some error
16:03:23 <andi5> did make work or did it show errors as well?
16:03:32 <warlord> probably errors about installing the gconf schemas?
16:03:33 <andi5> or even configure
16:03:58 <andi5> why should it? iirc installing the gconf schemas should work perfectly :)
16:04:07 *** warlord has quit IRC
16:04:13 <mmm4m5m> yes it works (I think)
16:04:29 <andi5> may you pastebin (www.pastebin.ca) the errors you see?
16:04:31 <mmm4m5m> here is last few lines from "make install":

16:05:04 <mmm4m5m> ububam@plamen-vaio:~/Projects/Modified/gnucash-2.2.4$
16:05:06 <mmm4m5m> sorry for flood
16:05:08 <mmm4m5m> sure :), ok, then it is related to gnu-module
16:05:45 <andi5> did you reconfigure with a different prefix without starting afresh?
16:05:48 * mmm4m5m checking what pastebin.ca is
16:06:52 *** jsled has joined #gnucash
16:06:53 *** gncbot sets mode: +o jsled
16:07:13 <mmm4m5m> not sure I understand the question. First I did simple ./configure and make. Then before "make install" I decide to think. Then I did again "./configure" with prefix, then make and then make install
16:07:33 <andi5> yep, that does not work out well
16:07:44 <mmm4m5m> ok, will extract the archive again
16:07:51 <mmm4m5m> is there something like make clear
16:07:56 <andi5> best, you removed the source, build and installation directory completely and started once again
16:08:00 <mmm4m5m> or "strip something"
16:08:05 <andi5> oh, there is "make clean"
16:08:32 <andi5> but i am not sure whether this will solve all problems... maybe
16:09:01 *** warlord has joined #gnucash
16:09:02 *** gncbot sets mode: +o warlord
16:09:19 <mmm4m5m> right... clean not clear... I will try now. Can I use source from svn in the same way? (configure with prefix, make, make install)
16:09:30 <warlord> yes
16:09:48 <andi5> yep, but make sure you grab branches/2.2 if you want to have a stable build :)
16:10:03 <andi5> trunk is no moving target, but still a development branch
16:11:23 <mmm4m5m> I have svn experience (also development). One last questions: any notes to have 2 gnucash versions together on my pc. Maybe sometimes to use 2.2.4, sometimes the stable version. Any major file format changes? Or once file is open/saved with 2.2.4 I have to continue with 2.2.4?
16:12:13 <andi5> not between 2.2.1 and 2.2.4, you can safely install them in parallel
16:14:30 <warlord> 2.2.4 is the most recent stable version
16:14:33 <mmm4m5m> you are cool... IRC I did not use since school... linux/ubuntu environment is something so new for me.. bug thank you for help. I was thinking could it be a bug with install in different location (prefix) or something. 10x again
16:15:00 <andi5> does it work now?
16:15:01 *** _gunni_ has joined #gnucash
16:15:12 <mmm4m5m> give me a sec.
16:15:17 <andi5> so?
16:15:37 <mmm4m5m> make is working
16:20:47 <mmm4m5m> I start it again - delete and unpack source from archive
16:21:15 <mmm4m5m> some different error raise when I try make clean
16:21:25 <andi5> keep in mind to remove /home/plamen/Projects/Modified/gnucash as well :)
16:21:33 <mmm4m5m> I did :)
16:22:09 <mmm4m5m> just how it sounds - "projects/modified" - like I am about to start modifications
16:22:41 <andi5> that sounds good :)
16:23:14 <mmm4m5m> so long with windows.. need some break, but definetely I would like to
16:23:49 *** |gunni| has quit IRC
16:31:26 <mmm4m5m> andi2: I did some modification for some other project. But it's output was single binary. So, first this confused me. After that I realize gnucash is script which set some env. vars and paths. After that I did read about "make -DESTDIR" and "./configure --prefix" - again questions and read more in internet. After that "./configure ..." with/without library, with/without features... again confusion...
16:31:34 <mmm4m5m> andi2: it is working
16:31:40 <andi5> hey, me is a 5 :)
16:31:42 <mmm4m5m> I mean "make install" is ok
16:32:41 <mmm4m5m> I have to start "/home/plamen/Projects/Modified/gnucash/bin/gnucash" right?
16:32:52 <andi5> make DESTDIR is only useful for building packages and not real installations
16:32:54 <andi5> yes
16:34:41 <mmm4m5m> looks like it is using different preference file
16:35:05 <andi5> it probably complains about missing schemas, right?
16:36:47 <mmm4m5m> no, nothing. I run it in terminal window and no msgs at all (only "found finance 1.13")
16:37:29 <andi5> so it does not come up and show either a "need default settings dialog" or the splash screen?
16:38:46 <mmm4m5m> splash screen is here, tips of the day are here but edit/preferences are not from my home directory
16:39:23 <mmm4m5m> it did not start "new account wizard" (I did turn it off in 2.2.1 version)
16:39:32 <mmm4m5m> see, it is ok, these details are not important
16:39:47 <mmm4m5m> as long there is no mess with 2.2.1 libraries/modules, it is ok
16:39:48 <andi5> hm... are the checkboxes ticked of?
16:40:06 <andi5> so even your own adjustments are missing... weird
16:40:17 <mmm4m5m> currency and date format in edit/preferences is ... wait maybe I am wrong
16:41:20 <mmm4m5m> yes... I did setup edit/preferences in different user account. So all is perfect
16:41:35 <andi5> hehe :)
16:44:05 <mmm4m5m> I am learing bash... wrote some (curl) script to download bank html pages, then (awk, sed) to filter and modify it to normal file. Now I can continue with qif import. I read that 2.2.4 have some fixes about imports.
16:44:42 <mmm4m5m> all is about home accountancy and testing. Everything (linux/gnucash) looks very promising.
16:45:25 <andi5> there is even an installer for gnucash on windows... as appetizer imho :-)
16:45:55 <mmm4m5m> I know :)... and viruses and single user env.
16:46:07 <mmm4m5m> let me explore this world
