bypassing finance::quote

[Rafael Lima]

Hi everybody,

first of all, i'm rafael brazilian and this is my first interaction
with gnucash mailist sorry if i do anything wrong.


I installed finance::quote and tried to get quotes from ibovespa
market, but even trying diferent tips from diferents websites i
couldn't do.

So, i develop a java program to do it, create a new source quote
module that just call my java code and put it on the library and
everything works fine.

But i hate this situation, i've installed a perl interpreter just for
use this library what doesn't have any function to my [is just a link]


So i looked the code, looking for a hook for try insert my java code,
but how im new at this code and not so expert cpp develop i would like
some help:

1- i found the place where is called the function to check if
finance::quote is installed... but i couldn't understand how it works
LINE 19071 of swig-engine.c [pasted here
http://paste.ofcode.org/38qxqQvM6aGFD3vxaQ2ekHK]

seams that he is looking for something in a directory but what is
exactally? i tried to reproduce the finance::quote directory
estructure in my system and didn't work [maybe i forgot some file]


2-i found where the finance::quote code is called but i didn't
understand the use of scm objects,
LINE 290 of dialog-price-edit-db.c
http://paste.ofcode.org/vwcWBUmDVMqM9VWdUdi5JE

I realize that is a system call and hopefully there are some
enviroiment  variables envolved [so i could change its value and call
my own code =D] but i cant deep understand the code, can anyone help
me?



sorry if i did something inconvenient and for my bad english...


thanks for your attention

I'm using gnucash 2.6.4 on a windows 7
