Title: Extension request: SLIB
Post by: bmarkus on February 11, 2011, 12:40:24 PM

Can someone add SLIB to repo? It is out of my capacity but needed to build a program.

There are no build dependencies as this package is nothing but many text script files which are copied to the system. If you are installing this package to support a GnuCash installation, you should ensure that Guile-1.8.7 is installed so the SLIB catalog for Guile can be created.

I think you're underestimating yourself. :)

Thanks for encuraging. Right I just wanted to build gnucash in deed but reading the useless SLIB docs and after few unsuccessful tries gave up. Usually there is a risk to make a working version blind of package of this kind if you are not using and not familiar. Will make one more try :)

If the latest version gives trouble, try following the versions used in BLFS. They're tested to work by many users.
