DependenciesDependenciesPosted Dec 5, 2002 9:59 UTC (Thu) by aglet (guest, #1334)In reply to: Dependencies by ekj Parent article: Coming soon: gnucash 1.8 Ah, but beta testing is different to just wanting to run the application (which is what I nuderstood the previous poster to be saying). Perhaps you should keep a small "bleeding edge" partition if you can't manage to keep your stable stuff working as well as running recent betas? Maybe a switch in distribution would help -- I drag in a few packages from the Debian unstable & testing distributions into my stable laptop, it seems to work fine...

Dependencies Posted Dec 5, 2002 12:04 UTC (Thu) by ranger (guest, #6415) [Link] Debain isn't the only distro out there of course. There's no need to switch distros, upgrading to Mandrake 9.0 should be sufficient, at most the user could add a cooker source to urpmi to install the required libraries (and remove it afterwards, to prevent getting a whole bunch of other possibly semi-broken software).But, installing the deps on a pre-Gnome2 distro to be able to run a development version of GTK/Gnome software is probably not feasible, at least not without requiring upgrades on much of the software (since many of the dependencies are complex, to allow gnome1.x software to co-exist with Gnome2 may require upgrading Gnome1.x libraries, requiring software depending on those libraries to be upgraded also). Why doesn't one see this with KDE though, I wonder ...
Dependencies Posted Dec 11, 2002 23:22 UTC (Wed) by Wilddev (guest, #8514) [Link] I'm not quite sure what you're implying here, but GnuCash 1.8.0 is a GNOME 1.4 application and doesn't require any GNOME2 libraries. Also as someone actively involved in GNOME I know that GNOME 1.4 and GNOME2 happily co-exist allowing you to run applications developed for either platform as required.
