Compile Homebank 5.8.1 on Fedora

Asked by Richard Sutton

Has anyone successfully compiled HomeBank 5.8.1 for Fedora 40 (the repos only have v5.7.4)? If so, how did you do it? The normal ./configure, make, make install does not work (for me). I have the development files installed, I have the dependencies installed, and I have no clue from there.

Any help would be appreciated. I have successfully compiled on Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, etc. But, fedora eludes me.

After trying everything that I could think of, I found a post by someone wanting to compile a program that existed on Ubuntu for fedora. He found an amazing thing, install dpkg on fedora! Then, use dpkg to install the ubuntu deb file.

Since I can create a deb file for homebank on ubuntu, I simply copied over the deb file for homebank to fedora and used dpkg to install it. I, personally, find this amazing. I now have homebank v 5.8.1 on fedora and it works just file.
