[SOLVED] Need help compiling gnucash from source

linux_user · 2019-04-08 07:01:52

I am trying to compile gnucash from source (I know that this might break the system and it's recommended to installed from repo. Gnucash in repo is just too old).

've installed cmake, cmake-data, ninja-build, gcc and g++.

GNU source directory: /downloads//gnucash-3.5
Installing it to: /tmp/gnucash
Build directory: /downloads/gnu-build

The error says "A required package was not found". I am not sure which one is it.

toor@bunsenlabs:~/downloads/gnu-build$ cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/gnucash /home/toor/downloads/gnucash-3.5/
-- Checking for module 'glib-2.0>=2.40'

Nothing to my eyes. Searched using Find tool for keywords 'package' too. The fact that the log doesn't have timestamp is even more frustrating. Here's the output -> https://pastebin.com/LYfAQr7n

^Which building instructions are you following? The official one?

Later on, I will try it, just for the academic purpose ... I used to be quite a good software 'make'-er, I wonder weather I still have this power

Also, you can install the GnuCash from here ...

Do you have libglib2.0-dev installed?

The official ones in the downloaded source code- gnucash-3.5/README and gnucash-3.5/cmake/README_CMAKE.txt. They don't seems to be different from the ones online. Anyway, I'll go through them too. I just hope you still have your powers

I will take a look at installation instructions.

No, I didn't have it. So I installed it from the repo. And again,

OK, so I successfully compiled gnucash. However, it is so complicated that it is very difficult to see what is wrong ... In this respect I will describe what I have done:

- install all dependencies as described here, and especially follow all steps in "Setting up to Build GnuCash on Linux" (1.-4.); there is plenty of packages I have to install, I think more than 1GB (on exp BL lithium)
- skip step "apt-get build-dep gnucash", you don't need it
- git clone googletest (and googlemock) somewhere
- follow 'Build using CMake and Ninja'; instead of "cmake ..." example, use this one:

user@BLvbox:~/tmp/gnucash-3.5/build$ cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local \
  -DGMOCK_ROOT=/home/user/tmp/googletest/googlemock/ \ 
  -DGTEST_ROOT=/home/user/tmp/googletest/googletest/ ..
# '~/tmp/gnucash-3.5/build' is dir you created for build

(I hope I don't have to explain where I did untar of the gnucash archive, and where I git cloned googletest/googlemock ...) This will use googletest(?).

What is very important is the last argument to cmake, which seems to be wrong on the gnucash's web site; it must point to 'CMakeLists.txt' in '~/tmp/gnucash-3.5/' (and not in '~/tmp/gnucash-3.5/gnucash/').

NB1: This is buster based BL Lithium. I don't know if this makes difference. I'm willing to try this on stock BL Helium, but later tonight.
NB2: Also, I will perhaps have time to check installing via 'make' (instead of 'Ninja'), but also later tonight.

HTH

EDIT: Am I a powerful software 'make'-er, or not? So I have not one, but two powers: drink a lots of beer, and compile+make software. 8o 8o

This is why OP's build is failing most likely. You can see, you installed libglib2-dev and the build proceeded further, but then choked on the next missing dev dependency...

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libxml2-dev

@imbecil, you forgot to post the link...

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux

@linux_user, so enable the deb-src repo in /etc/apt/sources.list...

deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main non-free contrib

... and run...

sudo apt update && sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash

If you get error messages, post them, but things will be very messy if build-dep fails.

It often does because of the difference in gcc/libc6 versions. But if you're running buster/lithium, I'd just install gnucash from the repo, the version there is 3.4, that should be new enough and avoids all this hassle.

Maybe steve p. will see this thread and offer some insight, he's the guru on these issues.

Following "Setting up to Build GnuCash on Linux" (1.-4.), I am right now on the 4th step.

Just before the codes, it says, "In Ubuntu and derivates install from the repositories by running the following commands in a shell:"

I am not sure if I should follow those steps since I am using BL Debian.

I have activated deb-src in the sources.list and sudo apt update && sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash downlaoded about 70+MB of packages and installed them. Is that sufficient or do have have to follow the instructions in the page stated above?

I am using BL Helium. I know Lithium is just around the corner but I couldn't stop myself from trying this. And in all honestly, didn't thinkit to have this much work. Just a few commands as mentioned in the text file of their source code and it would work; or so I thought!

I am really wondering why didn't they they direct user to the website for more information rather than posting incomplete info. Kinda misleading to an extend I feel.

But, proceed as you wish, it should not hurt, I hope.

I ignored that error and continued installing the other packages.
Created a folder build inside gnucash source - gnucash-3.5/build/ and ran the code @iMBeCil tailor made for me (Thanks by the way)

toor@bunsenlabs:~/downloads/gnucash-3.5/build$ cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local \
>   -DGMOCK_ROOT=/usr/src/googletest/googlemock \ 
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/toor/downloads/gnucash-3.5/build/ " does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

The entire code wouldn't paste and the folder does exist. Anyway, I created another folder outside of the source, inside downloads/ and ran the same code,

toor@bunsenlabs:~/downloads/gnucash-build$ cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local \
>   -DGMOCK_ROOT=/usr/src/googletest/googlemock \ 
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/toor/downloads/gnucash-build/ " does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
toor@bunsenlabs:~/downloads/gnucash-build$   -DGTEST_ROOT=/usr/src/googletest/googletest ..
bash: -DGTEST_ROOT=/usr/src/googletest/googletest: No such file or directory

Same error. Therefore, I used the syntax in the official instruction.

toor@bunsenlabs:~/downloads/gnucash-build$ cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local /home/toor/downloads/gnucash-3.5/

It worked. So,

ninja

ninja install

Started gnucash using

/home/toor/.local/bin/gnucash

Took a few seconds and Voila!

Created a symlink,

toor@bunsenlabs:~$ ln -s /home/toor/.local/bin/gnucash ~/bin/gnucash

And now, I can launch through dmenu.

I am still quite curious as to why your tailor made syntax a) didn't run as one command (not sure what \ does) and b) threw that directory doesn't exist error. Would be nice if someone can shed some light.

This was my first ever compilation of a software. Hell of a compilation for me to be honest. Thank you all! I guess I owe you all an apology that I didn't check this wiki when that little piece of information inside the source code didn't work. But again, I would still had questions about the wiki.

Indeed @iMBeCil, you are a powerful software 'make'-er (I get it now!). And cheers to you! Someday we all will be able to see your superpower in drinking beer too.

Cool.

Now why does apt want to remove a kernel and nautilus? Do you have a newer kernel installed as well? Did you install nautilus or was it brought in by another package?

Run apt update && apt upgrade and then run the following again and post the output but DON'T RUN THE AUTOREMOVAL...

sudo apt --purge autoremove

No, I haven't touched it from what I remember. But I have a newer kernal.
Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64

I haven't installed Nautilus too, perhaps brought in by another package.

Run apt update && apt upgrade and then run the following again and post the output but DON'T RUN THE AUTOREMOVAL...

Sure, coming up now...

It'll prompt you to continue... Y/n, type 'n' for no. You can also use the simulate switch, that will run the removal but won't actually remove anything...

sudo apt --purge autoremove -s

autoremove is not infallable, you need to read what's being removed and have some understanding of what could happen. For example, if the kernel listed for removal is the only one on your system, your system will be broken when you reboot.

Yes, once it messed up my POL installation. I remember it. Have never used it ever since.

Actually, my 'tailor made' command was meant to be run as an one line command;I split it in several lines for easier reading. ('\' is supposed to continue the command bash command in new line.)

As for details why your version worked, it may have to do with the fact that you have used 'ninja' instead of 'make'. I should check it, but I have other stuff to do, and it seems you did want you wanted to do.

Haha, you're welcome linux_user I'm sure once my other super power will be made public one day ... But, let me say that there are people who are even more experienced in this kind of stuff ... I mean compiling software form source

But, the main point is that the README files and instructions 'How to compile from source' are always a must-read when you want to compile a program. And one should follow those instructions.

Have fun

Repology will let you see what distros, including Debian-based ones, have packaged it yet: https://repology.org/project/gnucash/versions

As of today, it's just MX Linux, by yrs truly...

On Stretch, Gnucash won't build with the stock guile-2.0 and libgwenhywfar, so I had to backport and install (in pbuilder's local repository) guile-2.2 and libgwenhywfar from Buster first.

Libgwenhywfar and newer debhelpers are in stretch-backports now, but not guile-2.2, which is a pretty heavy build. I do have it here, though: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show … /guile-2.2

Maybe I can get GnuCash 3.5 to build on the OBS. 3.3 failed in the self-testing phase.

Edit: GnuCash 3.5 is now available in that OBS repo. If you learn how to use the Debian package build system, you can rebuild the packages yourself with just the orig.tar.xz and debian.tar.xz files much more easily than the above manual build-from-raw-source process.
