Compiling gnucash on Microsoft Windows XP

[Stephen Grant Brown]

Hi All,

The last few lines of the msys shell running install.sh from packaging is

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo 'export REGEX_LDFLAGS="-L/C/soft/regex/lib -lregex"' >> /etc/profile.d/installer.sh

GNUCash at ELSHADAI ~/SGB_Packaging
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In another msys shell, I did

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GNUCash at ELSHADAI /etc
$ ls -la

That is, I have created the /etc/profile.d dir because it did not exist.

Is this correct thing to do?

If it is, can install.sh from packaging be modified to create this dir if it does not exist?

Yours Sincerely Stephen Grant Brown
