Linux Opensuse Build Make Error

Post by Geoplace »

Hi

I was trying install Money Manager Ex 1.2.2 form the tar.gz file into OpenSuse 13.2 following the INSTALL.TXT instructions but the make procedure stops.

When I run make command it display the next error:

make: *** No rule to make target 'lib/wxsqlite3/src/wxsqlite3.cpp', needed by 'wxsqlite_wxsqlite3.o'.  Alto.

Here is the output of the configure script:

Code: Select all

I'm trying to do the same thing, but on Kubuntu. I've not yet been completely successful, it's a bit of a nightmare!

Firstly, I suggest using Git to clone the source from Github. The tarball appears incomplete, because there are sub-modules that are required such as wxsqlite3. It builds its own library rather than just linking with an installed one (don't know why yet doesn't seem a very good idea).

You need to use the command "git clone --recursive" to pull everything down. I'm currently having problems with wxwidgets, I can't get a version it will link and run with.

Try the Git route and posst how you get one.

Good luck - Rick

Use wiki page for build from scratch:
https://sourceforge.net/p/moneymanagere ... 9%20Linux/
The wiki build instruction are slightly out of date. Here's what I did differently:

I installed a backport of wxWidgets to get v. 3.0.2 without the "unofficial" tag, using this repository:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu trusty main

It took me a while to realise the Legacy version of bakefile is required, not the current release!

There are two setup scripts: setup/linux/debian/build_new.sh, and setup/linux/build_deb.sh. I don't know why they're different, I had more success with the latter. (There is also a build_rpm script for RH-based systems)

There is an error in the "configure" script. The line WX_ADDITIONAL_LIBS="html, net, aui, adv, qa, webview, stc,core,base" doesn't work, because the WX_ADDITIONAL_LIBS variable is incorrectly used later. The problem is failure to pick up the webview library, and this can be fixed simply by changing
WX_LIBS=`$WX_CONFIG_WITH_ARGS --libs std, aui, stc`
to
WX_LIBS=`$WX_CONFIG_WITH_ARGS --libs std, aui, stc, webview`

After that it built and installed.

I then started looking at the problem I had with the binary release, which is total failure to correctly import QIF files. There are serious bugs in qif_import_qui.cpp which I'll try to report separately.

But digging deeper, I'm pretty disappointed at the whole thing, and I can't see it being a viable serious financial app. There are issues with the data model that seem to render it unable to support some important features. These include classes (as a secondary classification to categories), and also inability for a part of a split to be a transfer.

Interesting, I would try to do the equivalent in OpenSuse,

My knowledge compiling is really short so If I get stuck I would ask here again. Thanks.

Hi,

May I tag on to the end of this thread, please?

I have been using MMEX 0.9 on openSuSE for the last 7 years! I have now been forced to upgrade my OS to openSuSE 42.2.
Now I'm really stuck, I just can't get MMEX installed. I would be most grateful id someone would "take my hand" - metaphorically speaking, and  issue me with step-by-step instructions to compile MMEX on my system Better still, point me to a pre-built RPM for openSuSE 42.2.

Best regards, Martin

I'm at the same trouble, I can't install / compile in OpenSuse 42.1
