Compiling GnuCash on Windows

[Phil Longstaff]

Yes.  I ran into that yesterday but didn't check in a fix.

I think what you want to do is put the line:
ACTIVE_PERL_URL="http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/releases/5.10.1.1008/ActivePerl-5.10.1.1008-MSWin32-x86-294165.zip"


into your custom.sh file (same place as defaults.sh).

Subject: Re: Compiling GnuCash on Windows


Hello,

I am having issues with compiling gnucash on windows.
I am compiling on windows 7.
I have successfully installed MSYS and MingW and the 
build process is still in the process of downloading all the prerequisites.

It stalls at the section for Active Perl, when it tries to download Active
Perl (.zip) format
The link is broken and the latest versions of active perl for windows are in
.msi format, which cannot be unpacked in MSYS.

This line in the default.sh script is the faulty line.

I even tried using 7-zip to unpack the latest .msi of active perl and
re-archive it as .zip but that didn't work.

set_default ACTIVE_PERL_URL
"http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/releases/5.10.1.1007/ActivePerl-5.10.1.1007-MSWin32-x86-291969.zip"



Please find inlined, a part of the log file.

Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

Warmest Regards,

Chike
