Development under Windows

[Youssef Ltaief]

just did try and got the error message below

"mv: cannot stat `/bin/aclocal*': No such file or directory"

I installed msys under c:\soft\msys
all downloaded files were saved uunder "c:\soft\downloads" including the wget package.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
Youssef

Hi Youssef!

That link shows you the fastest way to get up and running. The script mentioned there brings down and installs the gcc compiler, a build environment, all the gnucash dependencies, the latest source code from the repository, and then does a build of gnucash. You could, of course, set up all this manually - but it's far harder.

The version compiled will not be installed in your programs directory, rather it will be compiled into c:\soft\gnucash (by default). to make an installer, additional steps are needed.

Once the first build is made, you can easily modify the source code and either run install.sh again or type make/any other commands that you might wish.

http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows#GnuCash_on_Microsoft_Windows

I looked at section "Instructions for an (almost) automated build"
Is that where I need to be looking. I dont want to install gnucash itself as I already have the stable version installed. I would like to look at the source code and try to help.

Where do I find a compiler for windows?

I appreciate the help

Youssef
