[GNC-dev] Fwd: Testing python

Sat Apr 25 18:17:07 EDT 2020

Unfortunately, we are beyond where I can help you with the build details,
but I can at least give my experience for comparison. I had never tried it
before, but I went to my most recent build directory and ran the gnucash
binary directly from there. It ran fine for me, in the sense that it didn't
give any different errors than when I run the installed binary. And I find
that, whatever these warnings may mean about the build, they DO NOT prevent
gnucash from opening and DO NOT seem to cause any problems in the
functioning at all that I ever notice. This is my output, for information:

2012 > bin/gnucash --version
GnuCash 3.10
Build ID: 3.10+(2020-04-11)
2013 > bin/gnucash --debug --extra
