15:47:49 <codesmythe> On OSX 10.11 (El Cap) with Security Integrity Protection enabled, dynamic linker environment variables (DYLD_*) can no longer be passed through subshells (google "dyld runtime protections"). This breaks the compiling of scheme code at build time since the guile compilation step uses DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to locate compiled dynamic libraries. :-( Any Mac folks seen this when compiling on El Capitan?

21:22:33 *** SeriousF has joined #gnucash
21:26:51 <SeriousF> Is there any sort of support for virtual postings in gnucash?
21:46:59 *** mlncn_ has quit IRC
21:49:25 *** codesmythe has quit IRC
21:52:04 <warlord> SeriousF: what do you mean by "virtual postings"?
21:54:21 <SeriousF> Where I can mark funds as being deposited/spent for a specific purpose independent of the stored account
21:57:55 <warlord> SeriousF: I'm not sure if you're talking about a Category of a Class..
21:58:51 <warlord> For each transaction there are (at least) two accounts: the credit account and the debit account.
21:59:00 <warlord> E.g. Assets:Checking and Expenses:Groceries
21:59:52 <SeriousF> Yes
21:59:58 <warlord> if you're asking "how do I mark this transaction from Checking -> Groceries as 'for project X'?" the answer is, unfortunately, GnuCash does not have Tags.
22:00:41 <warlord> So I'm not sure if you're asking "how do I mark this as Groceries", or "how do I mark this Grocery transaction as part of Project X"
22:00:49 <SeriousF> The latter
22:01:05 <warlord> unfortunately there isn't a way.
22:01:13 <SeriousF> That's too bad
22:01:14 <warlord> You could use convention, like putting it in the transaction descrption
22:01:20 <warlord> It's an oft-requested feature
22:01:24 <warlord> Patches definitely welcome
22:01:24 <SeriousF> Yeah
22:01:34 <warlord> Just nobody has implemented it.
22:01:42 <SeriousF> Makes sense
22:01:47 <SeriousF> Thanks for the help anyways
22:02:00 <warlord> What exactly are you trying to use it for?
22:02:11 <warlord> Maybe there is another way to get GnuCash to do what you want/need?
22:03:45 <SeriousF> I want to account for money recieved from a friend to make a purchase on their behalf, I'm thinking I'll just withdraw and deposit the money from a liability instead.
22:06:53 <warlord> SeriousF: Oh, that's easy! Just make Liability Account and transfer from that Liability to your Cash/Bank.
22:07:06 <warlord> Then when you purchase the item for them transfer the value back to the Liability.
22:07:11 <warlord> At the end it should be 0
22:07:13 <SeriousF> Yeah that's the idea
22:07:25 <warlord> No need for Tags for that
22:09:38 <SeriousF> Tags would make it easier to account for though by separating whatever account the money is credited to from the credit itself
22:10:19 <warlord> No, for this case it wouldn't
22:10:26 <SeriousF> yeah you're right
22:10:47 <warlord> Tags are used more for "Project accounting"
22:10:57 <SeriousF> yeah
22:11:06 <warlord> E..g, you're a theater company and need to keep track of individual shows.
22:12:37 <warlord> anyways, gotta run. good night.
22:13:00 <SeriousF> Alright, thanks for the help
