13:30:46 <xorand> I'm a new user of gnucash. I use it for my personal monthly expenses. I update my file when I have the time. I use my online bank statement to enter my totals. When I get around to entering new totals I have to hunt around for the last transaction entered. Is there an easy way to find the last transaction entered in GnuCash?
13:31:28 <joslwah> xorand, How do you organise things?
13:31:47 <xorand> joslwah, I have a basic set of accounts
13:31:58 <joslwah> xorand, I have various bank accounts and each of them is ordered by time, so isn't it fairly easy to find the last transaction?
13:32:28 <xorand> joslwah, How do you order them by time?
13:32:31 <joslwah> If you're in an account then you can (under view) select sort by and then select various options. Does that help?
13:32:55 <joslwah> I use standard order, but you can use date or date entered.
13:33:45 <xorand> hm. From the main tab - "Accounts" - where do I sort by time/date?
13:33:50 <joslwah> Does that solve the problem.
13:34:01 <joslwah> No, go into the particular bank account (for example) that you want to look at.
13:34:14 <joslwah> Then under view there is a sort-by entry.
13:35:13 <xorand> joslwah, I think we are at cross purposes here. I have a basic set of accounts from the wizard: Assets, Equity, Expenses, etc
13:35:41 <xorand> I need to find the last transaction entered, and I won't know which account
13:36:04 <joslwah> Ahh. Well, in that case ... (goes to his running version)
13:36:30 <xorand> because, if I have the last transaction, I can find my place in my online bank statement
13:37:01 <joslwah> Go to Reports/Assets & Liabilities/General Ledger.
13:37:07 <joslwah> Then scroll to the end.
13:37:50 <joslwah> Does that solve your problem?
13:37:51 <xorand> joslwah, That's perfect. Thank you :)
13:37:57 <xorand> yesyesyes :)
13:38:08 <xorand> with hyperlink and all
13:38:16 <xorand> very impressive
13:38:19 <joslwah> NP.
13:38:28 <joslwah> Right. Now I've got my problem to deal with.
13:38:52 <joslwah> Anyone aware that SVN-trunk doesn't currently build. I think the issue is possibly only on 64bit systems.
13:39:18 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord

13:39:20 <joslwah> ts type ‘long long int’, but argument 2 has type ‘gint64’
13:39:30 <joslwah> Sorry about the line breaks.
13:39:41 <joslwah> Been like that for a while. Just haven't had the time to report it.
13:39:54 <warlord> Well, obviously not many people build on 64-bit ;)
13:40:01 * warlord looks
13:40:31 <joslwah> Guess who does. 8-)
13:40:51 <warlord> well, if you dont report a problem we can't read your mind to know there is one. ;)
13:40:55 <joslwah> Can I leave it with you for now. If you need any tests/patches testing let me know.
13:41:09 <warlord> I'll need your testing.
13:41:14 <joslwah> warlord, I wasn't complaining that it was broken. Just getting round to reporting that there is a problem.
13:41:27 <joslwah> Can do. But may be lag on it.
13:41:46 <warlord> okay..
13:41:56 <joslwah> I'm guessing there are assumptions being made and the %lld is the problem, but I'm not sure. %lld should be at least 128 bits shouldn't it?
13:42:33 <joslwah> And gint64 isn't.
13:42:56 <warlord> %lld is the problem
13:42:58 <joslwah> Right. I need to go and cook. Back later to check for tests needing doing.
13:43:05 <warlord> there's a G_INT64_FORMAT to use.
13:44:10 <warlord> Is the problem only in that one place/one file?
13:44:25 <warlord> Change "%lld" to "%" G_GINT64_FORMAT
13:44:26 *** xorand has quit IRC
13:44:36 <warlord> with that one change does it compile for you?
13:46:57 <warlord> joslwah: if you can verify that that one change is sufficient then I'll commit.

14:27:32 *** nomeata has quit IRC
14:38:17 <joslwah> Will check in about ten minutes.
14:39:36 <warlord> thanks. (I just committed it just in case -- but I can add more if necessary)
14:41:00 <joslwah> So I can just pull it rather than having to edit locally?
14:41:35 <joslwah> Looking better.
14:41:47 <joslwah> Got past the bit that broke before. Still compiling.
14:42:16 <joslwah> Different problem now. But I'll try doing a clear compile for that one.
14:42:53 <joslwah> s/clear/clean.
14:43:01 <joslwah> s/\./\\/
14:43:04 <joslwah> ARG!
14:44:07 *** cedayiv has quit IRC
14:45:31 <joslwah> warlord, Right. Your patch fixes the original bug. At least from what I can tell.
14:45:44 <joslwah> But I have another one. This might be setup dependant.
14:45:48 <joslwah> Possible unintended interpolation of @INTLTOOL_ICONV in string at ../../../intltool-merge line 96.
14:45:48 <joslwah> Global symbol "@INTLTOOL_ICONV" requires explicit package name at ../../../intltool-merge line 96.
14:45:48 <joslwah> BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at ../../../intltool-merge line 263.
14:46:53 <joslwah> Am I missing some internationalisation package? I compiled it on this system before, so there has been a change, but it might not be the changes fault. Might have just brought out the problem.
14:53:24 <warlord> did you update your system since the first time you ran autogen.sh?
14:53:52 <joslwah> Hmmmm. Possibly. Do I just rerun autogen.sh in the trunk directory?
14:54:03 <joslwah> I'm using build subtrees to keep things a bit cleaner.
14:54:16 <warlord> Well, it all depends on how you did it.
14:54:24 <warlord> in MY tree I run autogen in the link tree forest..
14:54:39 <warlord> (so the src tree is always a 'pristine checkout')
14:54:58 <joslwah> As in ../autogen.sh?
14:56:12 <joslwah> Right. I'm assuming the makefile is thread-safe?
14:56:18 <warlord> no, I run always run it as "./autogen.sh"
14:56:37 <joslwah> There wasn't an autogen.sh in my build tree.
14:56:41 <warlord> ummm... not sure what you mean by theat
14:56:45 <warlord> taht
14:56:52 <joslwah> I'm doing make -j4.
14:57:35 <warlord> It might work -- it might not work. I dont think any of the devs test regularly with -j
14:57:58 <joslwah> O.k. I used to work on a machine where the correct approach was make -j16. That got the bugs out of concurrency!
14:58:21 <joslwah> Looking fine so far, but that just means it got lucky!
14:58:21 <warlord> Oh, so by "build directory" you mean you did "../src/configure ... "? --- that means you ran autogen.sh out of the src dir.
14:58:52 <joslwah> I have trunk and then trunk/src and trunk/build. I work in build.
14:59:02 <joslwah> So src is ../src
14:59:09 <warlord> so do it... but.. how did you create trunk/build?
14:59:13 <warlord> er, so do I..
14:59:27 <joslwah> mkdir build;cd build;../confiure
14:59:34 <joslwah> s/confiure/configure/
14:59:37 <warlord> Right..
14:59:44 <warlord> How *I* do it:
14:59:57 <warlord> cd build; lndir ../src . ; ./autogen.sh ; ./configure
15:00:32 <joslwah> Yeah. I used to use lndir when I was doing OS development.
15:00:41 <joslwah> Well, it builds!
15:00:59 <joslwah> Don't have it on my system atm. Was really useful though.
15:01:16 <joslwah> Right. The autogen rerun worked.
15:01:30 <joslwah> That looks like it closes it.
15:03:02 <joslwah> runs and looks fine at initial inspection.
15:03:43 <joslwah> Now to think about working on getting graphing of shares against a different currency working!
15:03:46 <joslwah> But not today.
15:05:20 <warlord> Great!
15:06:10 <joslwah> Thanks for your help.
15:06:42 <joslwah> BTW, what timezone are you in?
15:07:29 <warlord> US/ET
15:08:03 <joslwah> Ahhh. I've just shifted from GMT+8 to GMT+1. So meeting different people!
15:08:40 <warlord> Yeah, I'm GMT-4
15:09:00 <warlord> (GMT-5 during the winter).
15:09:09 <joslwah> So far more likely to meet now than before I moved!
15:09:10 <warlord> Periodically I'm GMT-7/8
15:09:29 <warlord> Well it depends on what hours you would keep.
15:09:59 <warlord> I'm often times here from 0800-0000 US/ET, so 1200-0400 GMT
15:11:55 <joslwah> I'll bear that in mind. Anyways, I've got to get on with other stuff. Nice chatting and thanks for sorting things out so efficiently.
15:12:03 <joslwah> I'll track the svn tree more closely now.
15:13:25 <warlord> Cool. Welcome and have a good one

22:21:51 <gvsa123> hi... this is my first time to join the irc chat for gnucash. i'm having difficulty using the program. specifically with the structure i should be using to manage my account and my spouse.
22:24:51 <gvsa123> should the equity/opening balances and imbalance accounts always be equal to zero?
