12:09:45 <nacho> Hi
12:10:05 <nacho> where could I find the win32 .iss file?
12:10:26 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
12:10:27 <warlord> iss?
12:10:50 <warlord> oh... try packaging/win32
12:10:55 <warlord> (gnucash.iss.in)
12:11:41 <nacho> warlord, ok thanks

14:45:47 <cw> anyone here?
14:46:21 <cw> i'm new to dev on linux. what is a good ide to use?
14:48:56 <nacho> cw, anjuta, monodevelop...
14:49:12 <cw> how about eclipse?
14:49:41 <cw> i've used that before on XP. will it build gnucash?
14:50:58 <nacho> cw, I suppose It will with the c/c++ plugin
14:55:01 *** sjc has joined #gnucash
15:11:16 *** dennis has joined #gnucash
15:12:46 <cw> what does --prefix=/opt/gnucash do when running configure?
15:13:52 <dennis> It causes the make install function to place all the gnucash files in /opt/gnucash/<file paths>
15:14:22 <dennis> opt/gnucash/bin /opt/gnucash/usr/share/ etc.
15:14:35 <cw> ah so if i'm not root then i need write/execute perms in /opt.
15:14:57 <dennis> May effect the build as well, i.e., it might cause the build to look for dependencies in /opt/gnucash but you can customize all the paths w/ configure.
15:15:19 <dennis> you always need correct permissions for the prefix path regardless of whom the user is.
15:15:31 <dennis> of course, root usually has permissions to write anywhere.
15:15:36 <cw> cool. i've never used make before. all my previous dev was using msvc6
15:16:11 <dennis> Ah. Welcome :)
15:16:35 <cw> :) thx. so far the community has been very helpful
15:16:37 <dennis> You can use microsofts version of make similarly too.
15:16:57 <dennis> most devs use project files though with visual tools.
15:17:07 <cw> right. but with the ide you really don't have to.
15:17:24 <cw> just create the proj, code, then compile
15:17:29 <dennis> yes.
15:17:57 <dennis> Make can be used much more simply than the common autotools/configure scripts that are widely used too though.
15:18:56 <cw> any idea why i'm getting libtool: install: error: cannot install `libgnc-module.la' to a directory not ending in /opt/gnucash/lib
15:19:25 <cw> my output dir is /storage/dev/gnucash/output/
15:19:40 <cw> and i have full perm on /storage/
15:20:58 <dennis> So make compiled successfully?
15:22:07 *** bentob0x has quit IRC
15:23:02 <cw> ran make. finished in a < 1min no errors/warnings at the end
15:23:26 <cw> a lot of nothing to be done for 'all'
15:23:47 <dennis> somethings seems weird.
15:23:57 <dennis> if you run make twice, the 2nd time doesn't take much time though.
15:24:03 <dennis> If things are up to date, you don't have to recompile.
15:24:24 <dennis> but there ought to be some amount of work to do the 1st time.
15:24:37 <cw> just ran make distclean because i changed my --prefix from /opt/gnucash to /storage/dev/......
15:25:40 <dennis> Then ran configure again right?
15:25:58 <cw> yes. now running make again and its taking a while
15:26:10 <dennis> Sounds like you're on the right track.
15:26:16 <cw> do i have to clear my output dir every time i do a make install?
15:26:31 <dennis> no
15:26:38 <dennis> won't hurt really though.
15:26:56 <cw> ok
15:38:17 <cw> is gcc the standard c compiler on linux?
15:59:24 <dennis> Yes.
16:07:45 *** dennis has quit IRC
16:20:45 <cw> when building a debug version of gnucash do you have to do a make distclean first?

18:23:43 <mm_freak> hello there
18:25:08 <mm_freak> i have attempted a bank transfer to a friend and recorded it as a liability, until the transfer is accepted by the bank
18:25:34 <mm_freak> now the transfer failed for some reason… i'd prefer not to delete the transaction, so what is the best way to record this failure?
18:26:51 <mm_freak> transferring back from expenses to liability?
18:27:05 <mm_freak> this sounds inconsistent for some reason

20:30:05 <warlord> mm_freak: reverse the transaction if it failed.
20:37:22 <mm_freak> warlord: "reverse"?
20:38:02 <warlord> mm_freak: yeah. reverse the direction.
20:38:14 <warlord> Instead of going from A1 -> A2, go from A2 -> A1
