Gnucash on Solaris

The following are the programs that you will need to compile on Solaris 10 11/06 x86 edition to be able to compile and use Gnucash 2.2.0

gtkthml

          ORBit2

GOffice - without gnome

          PCRE - Perl Compatible Regular Expressions --with-utf8
          libgnomeprint
          libgsf

libglade gtk

          pango
                 cairo
          atk

postgresql guile

         swig - update vicinity path on all *.init files
         gmp
         libtool

glib

         pkg-config

aqbanking

         libofx .8.3
                 OpenSP 1.5.2
         libchipcard
                 gwenhywfar
                           ncurses
         ktoblzcheck
         ctypes

My PKG_CONFIG_PATH is:

/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/sfw/lib/pkgconfig

If the startup Druid shows an empty box then add:

/usr/lib/libglade/2.0/libgnome.so via crle or LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Almost everything is a clean compile with no modifications needed.

For Goffice just add the Environment Variable that it complains about to existing paths and it will compile easily. There is only one to set so it's no big deal.

According to GNUcash some of the Sun supplied GNOME programs for JDS are out of date, therefore you will need to compile up current versions.

http://www.blastwave.org has a version that you can obtain using their tools if you have no idea how to compile code.

http://ww.ilkda.com/compile/index.htm is a starting point to learn how to compile C code. This in no way, shape, or form, tries to tell you how to actually write a single line of code.

I used to make the Solaris packages for GNUcash but will probably NOT do that for this version. This version compiles easily once all of the prerequisites are in place. The prerequisites are listed in reverse order. Start with the last one and work your up to the top.
