Compiling GnuCash on Windows

Wed Nov 1 11:22:32 EST 2006

Well, I always get the "Cannot find default values" dialog on startup. (I
read about that in one of the threads.) I've followed the setup as it
recommends, and here are the entire contents of my .gconf.path file:

######## The following lines were added by GnuCash. ########
xml:readwrite:$(HOME)/.gconf
xml:readonly:C:\GnuCash\gnucash\etc\gconf\gconf.xml.defaults
############## End of lines added by GnuCash. ##############

######## The following lines were added by GnuCash. ########
xml:readonly:C:\GnuCash\gnucash\etc\gconf\gconf.xml.defaults
############## End of lines added by GnuCash. ##############

Looks like evidence of my repeated attempts -- yet I still get the dialog
every time I start up. And if lines were *added* to .gconf.path, it appears
mine was completely empty before they were added. Is that normal?

Ahh...  Perhaps this means the preferences aren't being found?
This should default to 'true'.
