GnuCash on Microsoft Windows
This page collects various notes about potentially compiling GnuCash on Microsoft Windows.
Relevant recent gnucash-devel discussion:
- https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2006-February/016646.html
- https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2006-February/016647.html
Status: It is possible to compile all prerequisites successfully. It remains an open question how to approach the full gnucash package next.
Prerequisites
Mingw32
See http://www.mingw.org . All available as pre-compiled binaries.
Many other pre-compiled binaries are also available from http://gnuwin32.sf.net/ , for example:
- pkgconfig
- libxml2
guile
In guile-1.6.7 several tweaks were necessary to get it to compile.
- File libguile.c line 479: replace "#elif defined(FIONREAD)" by "#elif 0"
- File libguile-ltdl/raw-ltdl.c lines 220, 222, 224: remove the LT_GLOBAL_DATA macro on each line
- Files srfi/Makefile, libguile-ltdl/Makefile, libguile/Makefile: Add "-no-undefined" argument to libxyz_LDFLAGS variables, see also [1]
- And finally set the env variable GUILE_LOAD_PATH to the actual load path, which is different from the one that was stored during compile due to mingw's path translation. Make e.g. export GUILE_LOAD_PATH=c:/msys/1.0/local/share/guile/1.6/
One possible set of configure arguments looked like this:
./configure --disable-elisp --disable-networking --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-libtool-lock --disable-linuxthreads -C --prefix=/usr/local LDFLAGS="-L/lib -L/mingw/lib -L/C/WINNT/system32 -lwsock32 -lregex"
For testing, first try to make sure "guile -v" will run and give you the version number. Then try a simple expression, like "guile -c '%load-path'". However, so far I was unable to actually start the interactive interpreter (by simple "guile") because the readline library is unavailable. So running "guile" will give "ERROR: In procedure quasiquote: ERROR: Unbound variable: SIGBUS", but at least the code generation in g-wrap will work nevertheless.
g-wrap
See http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=15972
Status: Compile is possible.
glib
http://www.gtk.org/download/ also has binary windows packages.
qof
See https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2006-February/016647.html
Status: Compile is not yet fully possible, but issues could probably be solved quickly.
Gnucash
(Need instructions on how to tweak ./configure so that it doesn't complain about the missing gnome packages and so on.)
