[GNC] gnu-fq-check missing

[John Ralls]

Urk, looks like a problem with converting a string to wchar_t for Windows, we didn't set up codecvt in gnc-quotes.cpp. I can reproduce it here, trying a quick fix.

Regards,
John Ralls

> That depends on the version of GnuCash. If it's a 4.90x beta gnc-fq-check, gnc-fq-helper, and gnc-fq-dump have been replaced with finance-quote-wrapper and their function is now in gnucash-cli. We neglected to modify the Install Online Price Retrieval tool to reflect that. The two calls to gnc-fq-check and gnc-fq-helper in install-fq-mods.cmd are final checks to make sure everything succeeded, so you probably are done. You can run c:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash-cli -Q info and …\gnucash-cli -Q dump alphavantage AMZN to test it.
