gnucash & MT940

[Christian Stimming]

Hi,

the current CVS-HEAD branch contains the MT940 code, but it is disabled since 
April (IIRC) and cannot be compiled. It was disabled when the HBCI module 
switched from openhbci1 to openhbci2. The mt940 code depends on the openhbci1 
library and would need to be adapted to the openhbci2 library, but up to now 
it hasn't been touched again. 

Note also that the hbci guys (me and some other) are unsure whether we will 
really go for openhbci2 or whether we will change to yet another library 
(probably openhbci3). We would therefore advise against changing the mt940 
code at this point in time, but I have an eye on that.

If you *want* to get the mt940 working, then in theory it should be possible, 
but it requires some coding skills: The mt940 module depends on the openhbci1 
library (versions 0.9.x) and also on gnucash's import-export/hbci module. As 
I said, the current gnucash-hbci module uses openhbci2. You would therefore 
need to revert the import-export/hbci directory to the CVS date before the 
transition openhbci1 -> openhbci2 (look it up in the ChangeLog). Then you 
also need to revert the changes at that time in the configure.in file, and 
then it should compile... probably...
