Gnucash on Slackware

With Gnucash evolving into a Gnome 2 application, and Slackware Gnome support being picked up by Dropline Gnome, it has become much easier to install Gnucash on a Slackware system. In fact, we may even hope for the day when Gnucash itself is distributed with Dropline Gnome. In the meantime, here are some success stories.

Slack 11 + GnuCash 2

Outline: (see links below for Slack 10.x and 9.x for more details)

  1. Start with a fresh Slack 11 installation
  2. Do a full dropline install. Probably only a few Dropline packages are required - if someone has time it would be a great contribution to figure out what the minimum set of packages is.
  3. removepkg guile-1.8.0-i486-1
  4. Install guile 1.6.8 from sources
  5. Install g-wrap 1.3.4 from sources
  6. Install slib 2d6
  7. ./configure && make && make install.

Slack 10.1 + GnuCash 1.8

See this writeup by J. Milgram and also this writeup provided by Amigo Linux.

Slack 9.0/9.1 + GnuCash 1.8

See this writeup by RJ Marquette. RJ has also provided directions for installing the help files.
