General

This page is intended to capture various library build and runtime dependency information. The goal is to provide a more dynamic source than README.dependencies for tracking this 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:
    • gconf2 (>= 2.0)
    • glib2 (>= 2.12.0)
    • gtk+2 (>= 2.10)
    • guile (>= 1.6.7)
    • libart2 (libart_lgpl)
    • libglade2 (>= 2.4)
    • libgnomeprint2.2
    • libgnomeui2 (>= 2.4)
    • [lib]goffice (>= 0.5.1)
    • libgsf1
    • libxml2 (>= 2.5.10)
    • pango
    • swig (>=1.3.31)
  • alternatives, one is needed, here and later run ./configure --help for details:
    • [lib]gtkhtml3 (>= 3.14)
    • webkit (>= 1.0) alternative to [lib]gtkhtml3, more recent
  • optional:
    • aqbanking (> 1.6.0) optional for online banking and import
    • libdbi optional, for SQL backends,
      • don't forget to install your prefered database layer
    • libofx optional
    • python (>= 2.4) optional, for python bindings
  • only at runtime, there is no need to install the -devel packages:
    • isocodes, (suggested, translation of currencies) since Gnucash r19131/2.3.13 [1]
