Development under Windows

Please remember to CC the lists.

The code you're running through is the last step - building the
documentation. At this point gnucash should already be runnable.

The code you are running through is line 1078 of install.sh which calls
wget_unpacked on line 72 of functions.sh, this calls smart_wget immediately
above it. smart_wget will check to see if the file exists in DOWNLOAD_DIR as
defined in line 40 of defaults.sh (unless it's been overridden) before
trying to download it again. The fact that you are getting this error tells
me that either you have not downloaded the file to the right spot or the
file name is not precisely the same.

It's been a while since I ran this, but it seems odd that wget is trying to
download into c:/soft/tmp not c:/soft/downloads. Have you overridden
DOWNLOAD_DIR? A quick workaround may be to save your downloaded file to
c:/soft/tmp
