By following the instructions at
http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2006-September/018588.html
I was able to successfully compile GnuCash. This is great, because it
is by far the best accounting program I've used, and I rather missed
having it on Windows :)
The version I'm using, from the "About" box, is: svn r15094 on 2006-11-07.
Anyway, I'm getting some crashes with it, and some error messages. When
it starts up, the following are displayed to the console:
** (gnucash:3328): WARNING **: Failed to send buffer
** (gnucash:3328): WARNING **: Failed to send buffer
gnucash: [E] "Failed to fork child process."
Not really sure what those mean, though :o
Also, the following actions cause it to crash:
Reports -> Assets & Liabilities -> Advanced Portfolio
(gnucash:3620): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkselection-win32.c:1068: OpenClipboard
failed: Invalid window handle.
Reports -> Assets & Liabilities -> Asset Barchart
(gnucash:1044): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkselection-win32.c:1068: OpenClipboard
failed: Invalid window handle.
Reports -> Assets & Liabilities -> Asset Piechart
(gnucash:3944): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkselection-win32.c:1068: OpenClipboard
failed: Invalid window handle.
I haven't yet tried the others on that menu. This does seem to be a
problem with the gdk code, however, I thought I'd try here first in case
someone else had run into this. Any thoughts?
