[GNC-dev] Windows build server

Sun Mar 24 13:49:33 EDT 2019

Bob,

When it can't find libtest-core-guile.so itself it says "the specified *file* could not be found" (my emphasis); "the specified module could not be found" means that the linker couldn't find one of the dependencies of libtest-core-guile.so. That includes the whole Gtk stack, libgncmod-engine, libgnc-core-utils, several Boost libraries, libguile, libgc, and libintl.

Did you remember to start a jhbuild shell to set up the build environment?
  cd /c/gcdev64/src/gnucash-on-windows.git
  TARGET=gnucash-maint jhbuild -f jhbuildrc shell
  cd $PREFIX/../build/gnucash-git

It sometimes helps to uninstall; if you've cleared the build directory so install_manifest.txt is gone it's usually sufficient to 
 rm -r $PREFIX/lib/gnucash
 rm $PREFIX/lib/libgnc*

Regards,
John Ralls
