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?
