All tests should pass. An easy way to look at the results of the tests is to issue grep -A1 ============== check.log (this is assuming you redirected the output from the tests to the aforementioned filename). Now, as the root user: make install If desired, create a symbolic link from the GnuCash documentation directory to the system-wide documentation directory using the following command as the root user: ln -v -s /opt/gnome-1.4/share/gnucash/doc \ /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-version; If desired, create symbolic links to the GnuCash .desktop and icon files in the system-wide directories using the following commands as the root user: install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/pixmaps/gnucash && ln -v -s /opt/gnome-1.4/share/pixmaps/gnucash/gnucash-icon.png \ /usr/share/pixmaps/gnucash && ln -v -s /opt/gnome-1.4/share/gnome/apps/Applications/gnucash.desktop \ /usr/share/applications If you want to install the Help documentation (requires to be installed), unpack the additional tarball, change into the gnucash-docs-&gnucash-docs-version; source directory and issue the following commands as an unprivileged user: ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome-1.4 \ --localstatedir=/var/lib && make Now, as the root user: make install sed -i 's/^\(host_os=.*\)$/\1-gnu/' configure: This command is used to fix a broken configure script. Without it, no shared libraries are built, and the program will not function properly. --prefix=/opt/gnome-1.4: GnuCash-&gnucash-version; is a GNOME-1.4 application. --sysconfdir=/etc: This installs configuration files in /etc/gnucash instead of /opt/gnome-1.4/etc/gnucash. --disable-guppi: This compiles GnuCash without support for creating GUI graphs and plots. Remove this option if you have Guppi installed. -disable-error-on-warning: Without this parameter the build will fail because a warning is generated. This option forces the build to ignore the warning. --enable-sql: This parameter is required if you want to build in SQL support using PostgreSQL. --enable-ofx: This parameter is required if you want to build in on-line banking support using LibOFX. --enable-hbci: This parameter is required if you want to build in on-line banking support using AqBanking.
