_darwin_ - this would be OSX? 10.3 or 10.4?

Fink? DarwinPorts?

I build gnucash svn regularly on OSX 10.3 using fink. The OSX/Fink maintainer 
for gnucash (Peter O'Gorman) also builds 1.8 and (IIRC) svn on 10.4? (Peter?)

There is no need to build and run in separate directories for darwin. I use a 
script:
#!/bin/bash
export LIBTOOL="glibtool"
export PATH="/sw/bin:$PATH"
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /sw/share/aclocal"
cd /opt/working/gnucash/
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib/ CPATH=/sw/include \
./autogen.sh
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib/ CPATH=/sw/include \
./configure --disable-qof --enable-doxygen --enable-opt-style-install 
--prefix=/opt/fergus/gnucash
make uninstall
rm -rf /opt/fergus/gnucash
make distclean
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib/ CPATH=/sw/include \
./autogen.sh
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib/ CPATH=/sw/include \
./configure --disable-qof --enable-doxygen --enable-opt-style-install 
--prefix=/opt/fergus/gnucash

For the 1.9.0 distribution tarball, omit the call to autogen.sh

If this is darwin and you don't substitute glibtool or set the path to look 
in /sw/bin before anywhere else (or whatever other prefix you've set for 
fink), gnucash may get so far but it will not link successfully. It leads to 
some nasty (and misleading) error messages and crashes.

Ditto the prefix to call guile16-build.

This should not be specified when building from a distribution tarball - it's 
intended for svn builds (but I think it actually does nothing in the current 
gnucash build anyway).

To get gnucash to work, you'll need to up that level or just leave off the 
=minimum.

There's that darwin again.

But, let me guess, they all refer back to 'darwin'.

Building gnucash on OSX can be hard enough using fink, but at least it does 
work (I've been building svn on OSX regularly for months).

I do have problems with make check but the application itself does work.
