Please remember to CC the lists.

The code you're running through is the last step - building the documentation. At this point gnucash should already be runnable. 

The code you are running through is line 1078 of install.sh which calls wget_unpacked on line 72 of functions.sh, this calls smart_wget immediately above it. smart_wget will check to see if the file exists in DOWNLOAD_DIR as defined in line 40 of defaults.sh (unless it's been overridden) before trying to download it again. The fact that you are getting this error tells me that either you have not downloaded the file to the right spot or the file name is not precisely the same. 

It's been a while since I ran this, but it seems odd that wget is trying to download into c:/soft/tmp not c:/soft/downloads. Have you overridden DOWNLOAD_DIR? A quick workaround may be to save your downloaded file to c:/soft/tmp

Yes I did, thought there was some difficulty with the mailing lists. If you haven't got the response, check https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2008-April/024678.html

Basically I just told it to ignore that warning.

to answer your second question - just re-run install.sh and it will pick up where it left off.

Appears that the file isn't on the mirror... grab it from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115695&package_id=125492 and save it in your downloads dir.

Does /bin/aclocal* exist? (eg C:\soft\msys\bin\aclocal* ?)

If it does, do you have the permissions to move it?

Also, a few lines above the error might be useful to determine where in the script the error happened.

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

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.

Is this the link where I can find the source code?

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
