General

This page is intended to capture various library build and runtime dependency information. The goal is to provide a more dynamic source than maint/README.dependencies/master/README.dependencies for tracking this replace data.

See Building for details on building Gnucash.

GnuCash Library Dependency Policy

GnuCash desires to only depend on library versions and packages that are practically available. Specifically, we choose to depend only on versions that have been in the major distributions for 6 months. This is motivated in part by the 1.6 release, which required a large set of relatively-recent dependencies. Specifically, as most user's (distributions) did not have the required versions packaged, it was exceedingly painful for end users to upgrade to the anticipated release, leading to a reputation that gnucash still has.

This document serves to keep track of the major distributions, the date of their major release[s], and the relevant library versions as part of that release (or an official package-upgrade path)

Libraries/Deps

Eventually we should transform this list in a table of the form GnuCash-Version|required-lib*?

  • required:
    • glib2 (>= 2.40.0, >=2.46.0 preferred)
    • gtk+3 (>= 3.14.0)
    • guile (>= 2.0.0)
    • libxml2 (>= 2.5.10)
    • libxslt
    • swig (>=b2.0.10) Only required to build from git.
    • webkit (>= 2.4.9) Windows and Mac require *exactly* 2.4.9, as they use the WebKit1 API
    • boost (>=1.53.0)
    • googletest (>=1.7.0) Build only, not required for binary packages.
  • optional:
    • aqbanking (>= 4.0.0) optional for online banking and import; also requires gwehywfar and ktoblzcheck
    • libdbi (>=0.8.3) for SQL backends,
      • don't forget to install your preferred database driver ! On Fedora for example you can choose between libdbi-dbd-mysql, libdbi-dbd-postgresql and libdbi-dbd-sqlite. On Debian the drivers are named libdbd-mysql, libdbd-postgresql and libdbd-sqlite3. Other distributions may use other variants of these names still.
    • libofx (>= 0.9.0)
    • python (>= 3.2.0) python bindings; headers required, not just binaries.


  • at runtime:
    • required:
      • a gsettings backend to store the gnucash global preferences in. This backend is platform dependent:
        linux: dconf
        osx/quarz: plists
        windows: registry
      Note that the osx and windows backends are built-in in gio for their respective platforms. On linux and similar systems, the dconf package should be installed.
    • suggested:
      • isocodes, (translation of currencies) since Gnucash r19131/2.3.13 [1]
