08:15:24 <JimRaehl2> When I finished building Gnucash Windows using /soft/packaging/install.sh last evening, the build completed with a mysterious export/echo command pair request. What is the purpose of the direct command? What is the purpose of copying it to/etc/profile.d/ installer.sh? Where is installer.sh used? The commands I'm referring to: Environment variables changed, please do the following
08:15:24 <JimRaehl2> export GUILE_LDFLAGS="-L/o/soft/guile/lib"
08:15:24 <JimRaehl2> echo 'export GUILE_LDFLAGS="-L/o/soft/guile/lib"' >> /etc/profile.d/installer.sh

08:27:27 <warlord> JimRaehl2: it's setting it in the current shell and also putting it into the profile so it runs in future shells as well.

08:41:33 <JimRaehl2> Another question: is /soft/packaging/reset.sh the preferred way to clean out a mangled build setup and start over. It did seem to wipe out most of the installed packages, though if I recall correctly HTMLHELP didn't get wiped. I renamed /soft/hh (rename to keep around just in case), which forced a reinstall of HTMLHELP. Was getting rid of /soft/hh a good way to get rid of HTMLHELP and force a reload of that?
08:47:58 *** twunder has quit IRC
08:50:05 <warlord> yes.
08:50:05 <Teka> Hi I can't open any of my existing accounts. Any ideas please?
08:52:16 <warlord> What happens when you try?
08:57:22 <Teka> The program opens the account list and I can highlight each account by pointing with mouse. Select and click does not open account and now unable to highlight another account.
08:58:33 <warlord> What OS/Distro are you using?
08:58:39 <warlord> And what version of GnuCash?
08:59:56 <Teka> running Windows vista Home Premium and latest version 2.2.9 of GnuCash
09:01:09 <warlord> What happens if you minimize the window?
09:01:17 * warlord doesn't use Windows.
09:06:53 <Teka> Werid! if I select and click nothing - then minise and restore and the account has opened!!
09:06:53 <warlord> andrewsw: ping?
09:06:53 <warlord> Teka: I think you're seeing some of the 'screen redraw' issues that have been seen before.
09:14:30 <Teka> this does NOT happen on another PC running Windows WP and a copy of the same accounts so is it a Vista problem?
09:15:24 <warlord> Could be.
09:15:44 <warlord> I'm not a windows expert..
09:15:44 <warlord> And in many ways windows is a 3rd class citizen in the GnuCash world.
09:15:47 <Teka> Will it be covered in the website archieve - what to search? for "screen redraw vista" has no result
09:17:15 <Teka> so am I wasting my time with this programme and windows?
09:18:33 <warlord> No, I dont think you're wasting your time.
09:18:58 <warlord> But there are definitely windows-only issues.
09:18:58 <warlord> Try searching for "screen refresh windows"
09:19:04 <Teka> Thanks I will do that
09:20:51 <warlord> Also, you'll get lots of help on the gnucash-user mailing list.
09:22:10 <Teka> ok will try the mail list

22:02:20 <Jimraehl> After building Gnucash in Windows XP with /soft/packaging/install.sh, is /soft/gnucash/inst/bin/gnucash the right command to run the built executble? Seems to run fine. Does this mean that the instruction to run /soft/gnucash/bin/gnucash per http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows is no longer correct?
22:07:15 <warlord> * looks *
22:08:43 <warlord> Yes, /c/soft/gnucash/inst/bin/gnucash is the correct command to run.
22:08:57 <warlord> Feel free to update the wiki
22:10:56 <Jimraehl> Another question: to play with and build modified sources, do I modify the sources in /soft/gnucash/repos/src and possibly also in /soft/packaging/defaults.sh change: set_default UPDATE_SOURCES yes in the else section of: if [ "$BUILD_FROM_TARBALL" = "yes" ]; then ... else set_default UPDATE_SOURCES no
22:11:34 <Jimraehl> Thanks for answer to question #1. There are several changes I may make to the wiki, based on my experience.
22:11:52 <warlord> a) you should never modify defaults.sh -- create a custom.sh and put your settings there.
22:12:12 <warlord> b) yes /c/soft/gnucash/repos/src is where you modify the code.
22:12:52 <warlord> note that you don't necessarily need to set UPDATE_SOURCES=no unless you really want to make sure you don't 'svn up'..
22:13:53 <Jimraehl> Thanks again. Does that mean the svn checking will prefer my changed sources, even if the same source later changes on the server?
22:14:50 <warlord> No... it will just attempt to merge the changes.
22:15:02 <warlord> standard "svn update" behavior.
22:15:56 <Jimraehl> Thanks again. Now it's time for bed. I fall asleep happy.
22:21:01 <warlord> Excellent!
22:21:05 <warlord> Glad to hear it's working for you..
22:21:15 <warlord> I'm wondering why so many people have been having issues with win32 recently.
22:21:44 <warlord> At least now we have the daily builds, and we'll have auto tag-builds too so Phil can upload e.g. 2.3.2 the day after he tags the release.
