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

[john]

Chris,

Geert is right, at least for now, both because of the OpenSP failure and because the latest MSYS2 updates require a new webkit build and I haven't yet done the 64-bit one.

You can't just run the 32-bit build, though, because you've installed the 64-bit dependencies. You could reinstall them by hand but it's much easier to re-run setup-mingw64.ps1 and leave off the -x86_64 $true argument. Note that I haven't tried doing this on an already-built environment. It might not work.

The TARGET environment variable is read by jhbuildrc to decide which branch to build. The default is master, generally not what you want.

Regards,
John Ralls
