GnuCash 1.8.10 and AqBanking with HBCI

[Bernat Tallaferro]

Hi,

(first of all I apologise if this ends up being a double post, but the
message I posted yesterday didn't seem to make it to the list, so I'm
sending it again just in case)

I'm trying to get GnuCash to work with online banking using the HBCI
protocol through AqBanking. I'm on a debian-based system, and due to the
licensing issues with the libssl dependencies in gwenhywfar, there won't
be any debian packages with HBCI support (or at least that's how I
understood it). The  only way to get this to work on my system, then, is
to compile from source. So far, I've managed to compile

  aqbanking-2.0.0
  gwenhywfar-2.2.0
  libofx-0.8.0
  ktoblzcheck-1.10

successfully on my Ubuntu Breezy 5.10 system, but the actual questions
I've got are related to GnuCash. What I'm trying to do is to recompile
the sources of the gnucash debian package that is available on the
repositories in order to activate the --enable-hbci option. The version
is gnucash-1.8.10-12. 

After running ./configure with the appropriate flags:

  ./configure --disable-static --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --libexecdir=/usr/lib
--libdir=/usr/lib/gnucash --enable-ofx --enable-hbci
--disable-error-on-warning

I get the following warning

  configure: warning: ****** ghttp does not have SSL support.

I read in an old post on the German user's list that I shouldn't worry
about that, that ghttp has no relationship to HBCI support and it is
rather a leftover of previous features that are not used at the moment.
That's all fine, but the thing is, the message was from 2003-02-24, so I
don't know if that still applies, i.e. whether I can still ignore this
warning message today.

Therefore my questions are:

1.- Given my configuration and versions of the given applications, can
the warning message be ignored for GnuCash 1.8.10 without compromising
security?

2.- Are there any known critical problems with the use of HBCI in
GnuCash 1.8.10? I mean, should I stick to this stable release or use
another one (I'm basically only using it because it is the one from the
repositories and it is easy to resolve the compilation-time dependencies
and recompile)?

3.- Related to question 2, I get the following errors when running make
for GnuCash 1.8.10: 
  ../.libs/libgncmod-hbci.so: undefined reference to
`AB_Banking_GetWizardPath'
  ../.libs/libgncmod-hbci.so: undefined reference to
`AB_JobSingleTransfer_GetMaxPurposeLines'
I haven't got round to investigate further whether that is a problem
with gnucash or aquabanking, but should I bother trying to solve this or
is it rather a known problem and should just try to compile  for example
gnucash-1.8.12?

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
