[GNC-dev] Preferences for Accounting Period start-date and end-date lost on 4.9 Install

[Geert Janssens]

Hi Chris,

I don't think we support building a 64bit version on Windows.

Can you run your commands in the 32bit mingw64 shell (MSys2 64bit/MSys2 MinGW 32-bit) 
to at least avoid any additional bugs due to the different environment ?

Note the name is confusing. MingW64 is the name of the project (to differentiate from an 
older MingW32 project), but it provides both a 32bit and a 64bit environment for 
development. So far gnucash has only used the 32bit environment.

Regards,

Geert
