Gnucash on Slackware
With Gnucash having evolved 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 follows. See this page with more details.
- Start with a fresh Slack 11 installation
- 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.
- removepkg guile-1.8.0-i486-1
- Install guile 1.6.8 from sources
- Install g-wrap 1.3.4 from sources
- Install slib 2d6
- ./configure && make && make install.
Alternate Method: GWARE Rev. H - using advice given above
- Start with a fresh Slack 11.0 installation
- Complete a full GWARE Rev. H install
- removepkg guile-1.8.0-i486-1
- Install guile 1.6.8 from source
- Install slib2d6 and set guile up to use it. See here for what you have to do.
- Install g-wrap 1.3.4 from sources (can 1.9.7 be used? - gnucash will compile and attempt to load but then crash)
- removepkg libgsf-1.14.1-i486-1
- Download the latest source package for libgsf from your favorite Slackware Mirror
- Run the libgsf.SlackBuild and install the new package that now contains libgsf-gnome
- ./configure && make && make install gnucash 2.0.4
Alternate Method: GWARE Rev. H - using newer packages - potentialy more buggy. everything compiles and gnucash loads but some package tests fail.
- Fresh Slack 11.0
- Full GWARE Rev. H
- (unconfirmed if you have to recompile guile-1.8.0 using Slackware sources and guile.SlackBuild)
- Install slib2d6 and set guile up to use it. See here (newer versions were not tested)
- Install g-wrap 1.9.6 - 'make check' may produce errors (note 1.9.7 causes an error when gnucash loads)
- Recompile libgsf-1.14.1-i486-1 using the Slackware sources and libgsf.SlackBuild
- Compile gnucash 2.0.4 - 'make check' may produce errors
- Hopefully everything runs :)
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.
Prebuilt packages and other links
- Some pre-built GnuCash packages for Slackware, including packages for Slack 7 and 8. Haven't tried these - perhaps someone could comment on them. Some (or all?) of these were built by Jay the Obscure who offers other Slackware 10.2 Packages as well.
- Rich Shepard offers a prebuilt GnuCash 2 package for Slackware 10.2.
