Hi Chris,

I don't have much time to spend on this issue and only uses the reserved "XTS" to record USDT transactions.

I always uses USDT as a bridge between the other crypto currencies and legal tender. In this way the only exchange rate I need to update is USDT (XTS), and I also need to transfer the current net worth of all crypto currencies into USDT and record it as a gain or loss. I treat it as a whole. And more detailed transaction and analysis can be generated by whatever crypto exchange app you are using.

Adding all those crypto currencies requires a source to fetch current price, which is another bigger issue. And the price of thoes currencies change so dramatically which makes it harded to get a overview of net worth of those.

Hi Explorare,

Thanks for the reply.
I was actually asking about the python error when building with:

      writer.fp.write('\n'.join(self.manifest).encode('utf-8',
         'backslashreplace') + b'\n')

Regards,

Hi Devs,

Can I get some help with this pls?

I seem to only have python 3.9.7 installed.
Is this relevant? :

E:\Data\GnuCash\gcdev64\src\jhbuild.git\modulesets\bootstrap.modules:
  <autotools id="python" autogenargs="--enable-shared" autogen-sh="configure">
    <pkg-config>python-2.7.pc</pkg-config>
    <branch repo="python" module="${version}/Python-${version}.tar.xz"
            version="2.7.14" hash="md5:1f6db41ad91d9eb0a6f0c769b8613c5b"
            size="12576112">
      <patch file="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-osx/raw/master/patches/python2-linkflags.patch" strip="1"/>
    </branch>
  </autotools>

Setup:
..
Optional dependencies for git
    python: various helper scripts [installed]
    subversion: git svn

Rerun setup after I manually downloaded mingw-w64-i686-webkitgtk3-2.4.11-999.4-any.pkg.tar.zst.sig and put it in
  gcdev64\msys2\var\cache\pacman\pkg to fix error: Maximum file size exceeded
	(Maybe I should just have rerun setup?)
	20220117_2 Setup-ming64.ps1.txt
Build:
	20220117_3 BuildWin32GnuCashErr.txt
