Hi Bill,

this is what fails and the error message:

/opt/gnucash/gnucash_cvs/gnucash_work/src/engine/engine-helpers.c:938: undefined reference to `xaccQueryAddDateMatchTS'

A lot of other undefined references follow.
If I call make with -k other calls to the linker fail, too.

nm /opt/gnucash/gnucash_cvs/gnucash_work/src/engine/.libs/libgw-engine.a
lists xaccMallocQuery as U (external reference).

nm /opt/gnucash/gnucash_cvs/gnucash_work/src/engine/.libs/libgncmod-engine.a
lists xaccMallocQuery as T (in here).

libgncmod-engine.a is specified in the failing command before libgw-engine.a
May be this is a case of circular dependencies of static libraries? But libtool
should handle this?

Dave advised me to move the line in src/engine/test/Makefile.am

  ../libgncmod-engine.la \

farther down the list in LDADD.

I did this, but it did not help.

Unfortunately I don't understand the interaction of autoconf, libtool,
the compiler and the linker good enough to know what to change in
which Makefile.am or configure.in or whatever. And the autgenerated
Makefile is to complex ...

 Herbert.
