GnuCash Compile with MySql options (solved)

[nobicycle]

Hello

I am trying to run GnuCash app-office/gnucash-2.4.10 with Mysql as its database. I tried emerge and a manual compile without success. This is what was done:

Code: Select all

su
equo install dev-db/libdbi # needed for gnucash mysql drivers
USE="--enable-dbi"  emerge gnucash


This failed, as judged by using the new set of books wizard ... at the end only XML is available as a Save target. I noticed the configure part of emerge used --disable-dbi .. it did not pickup on USE="--enable-dbi"

Then the manual compile.

Code: Select all

./configure   --enable-compile-warnings --enable-dbi
make
make install

Again, only XML was available as a Save target.

I would appreciate any suggestions.
Best wishes

Not being a portage expert, I ran the portage GUI Porthole. From there the correct USE is visible:
USE="chipcard mysql quotes sqlite webkit" emerge --nospinner =app-office/gnucash-2.4.10

"dbi" is insufficient, mysql is required.

Maybe your emerge failed because there is no such useflag as enable-dbi.

Code: Select all

I would try the mysql useflag instead

Edit: Now I can see, you already discovered it…
