GnuCash-2.2.4

Installation of GnuCash

Install GnuCash by running the following commands:

sed -i 's|xml::${sysconfdir}|xml::/etc/gnome/2.18.3|' configure &&

./configure \
    --prefix=/usr \
    --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
    --with-gconf-schema-file-dir=/etc/gnome/2.18.3/gconf/schemas &&
make

If you wish to create the API documentation in HTML format, you must have Doxygen-1.5.2 and Graphviz-2.12 installed, then issue: make doc. If you wish to create the API Design Guide in several formats, you must have teTeX-3.0 installed and issue: make -C src/doc/design html pdf ps.

To test the results, issue make check. All tests should pass. An easy way to look at the results of the tests is to issue grep -A1 ============== check.log (this is assuming you redirected the output from the tests to the indicated filename).

Now, as the root user:

make install &&

mv -v /usr/share/gnucash/doc /usr/share/doc/gnucash-2.2.4 &&
ln -v -s ../doc/gnucash-2.2.4 /usr/share/gnucash/doc &&

for FILENAME in doc/{misc*,gnome*,generic*,build*}.txt \
                doc/{gtkrc*,TRANSLATION_HOWTO,README.translator.txt} \
                doc/README.{build-system,OFX,HBCI}
do
    install -v -m644 ${FILENAME} /usr/share/doc/gnucash-2.2.4
done &&

install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gnucash-2.2.4/api/engine &&
install -v -m644    src/doc/{TODO*,*.txt,*.html} \
                    /usr/share/doc/gnucash-2.2.4/api &&
install -v -m644    src/engine/*.txt \
                    /usr/share/doc/gnucash-2.2.4/api/engine

If you built the API HTML or Design Guide documentation, issue the following commands (modified as necessary, depending on what docs are being installed) as the root user:

install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gnucash-2.2.4/{design,api}/html &&
install -v -m644    src/doc/design/gnucash-design.html/* \
                    /usr/share/doc/gnucash-2.2.4/design/html &&
install -v -m644    src/doc/design/gnucash-design.{pdf,ps,dvi} \
                    /usr/share/doc/gnucash-2.2.4/design &&
install -v -m644    src/doc/html/* \
                    /usr/share/doc/gnucash-2.2.4/api/html

If you want to install the Help documentation system, you must have ScrollKeeper-0.3.14 installed. Then unpack the additional tarball, change into the gnucash-docs-2.2.0 source directory and issue the following commands as an unprivileged user:

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --localstatedir=/var/lib &&
make

HTML versions of the Help Manual and Users Guide can be created if the DocBook XML tools are installed (libxslt-1.1.22, DocBook XML DTD-4.5 and DocBook XSL Stylesheets-1.71.1). A PDF version of the Users Guide can be created if you have DocBook-utils-0.6.14 and JadeTeX-3.13 installed. Issue the following commands to create the documentation (modify as appropriate for your desires):

make -C help  html &&
make -C guide html &&
make -C guide pdf

Now, as the root user:

make install

If you built the Help Manual or Users Guide, install them using the following commands as the root user (modify as necessary):

install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gnucash-2.2.0/{users_guide,help} &&
cp -v -R            help/C/gnucash-help/* \
                    /usr/share/doc/gnucash-2.2.0/help &&
cp -v -R            guide/C/gnucash-guide/* \
                    /usr/share/doc/gnucash-2.2.0/users_guide &&
install -v -m644    guide/C/gnucash-guide.pdf \
                    /usr/share/doc/gnucash-2.2.0

Note that you must have Yelp-2.18.1 installed in order to view the Help documents using the default GnuCash method.
