I spent about four years trying to build GnuCash on the Mac. Not
continuously; perhaps once or twice a year.
I was very excited when I saw that Quartz support had been
implemented. It turned out that by then most of the build problems
had been corrected as well.
I was able to get it to build after I manually applied some patch. I
don't recall now what it was, but I'm sure that it's not necessary
anymore.
The only trouble I ever have with Gnucash on the Mac is that the text
insertion point often doesn't work correctly in the date or currency
amount fields. If I click in a certain place, I can backspace, but I
cannot use the arrow key to move the cursor without deleting. So on
the Mac I always had to be careful how I clicked into those fields.
I've never had that problem on Linux.
But once I got a working Quartz GnuCash, I never again tried to
rebuild it. Quite likely that text selection problem has since been
fixed.
