Gnucash-git build problems on MacoSX/Quartz

[Christoph R]

Hi John,

that made it! 

I did not see the comment in gnucash-modules. Instead I followed the instructions on the wiki page plus google. I will make a reference to gnucash.modules for latest instructions in the wiki.

Thanks,
Christoph

Note that that comment also says that you must run install_name_tool on the result; the full command is in the modules. That fixes the rpaths in the boost libraries so that they'll link without having to set any of the ld flags. You'll need to re-link gnucash and all of its modules afterwards.
