I'm using Anjuta to create my test project. When I open config.h file,
I can see it is created by configure.in, as spected, then I need to
get this variable defined in configure.in.

I found a macro in /macros/legacy_macros.m4 witch test for sscanf to
support %lld (long long decimal integer) if so defines HAVE_SCANF_LLD.
I think this is supported in recent gcc versions, then I can safetly
define it in configure.in or remove this test in
/lib/libqof/qof/qofutil.h.

Well as result of this test program, I'll try to add the missing
functions for GncBook and some documentation trying to keep as simple
as possible the process to load a book and close it.
