Ubuntu
kmymoney2 package

Building under Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10)

Asked by ncgater

Hello,

I'm finally serious about ditching Windows at home. The biggest impediment I have is a suitable replacement for Quicken. kMyMoney presents the best so I want to give it a try. My requirement for Linux packages is that I can build them locally. For a generic UBUNTU install, what should I specify during configure?

           ./configure --with-qt-dir=[your location of qt3] --prefix=[your location of kde3]

What other packages do I need to install to build from source. Thanks

David

I think you can try GNU Cash the Quicken clone http://www.gnucash.org/

sudo apt-get install gnucash

----

To build from source please install build-essential meta package
Please open a Terminal and type:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install build-essential

Then you need to install others application dependent developments library in this case
qt3:

sudo aptitude install libavahi-qt3-dev libqt3-mt-dev libqwt5-qt3-dev libqwtplot3d-qt3-dev libvtk5-qt3-dev qt3-apps-dev qt3-dev-tools qt3-dev-tools-compat qt3-dev-tools-embedded

Um, I asked about KMyMoney, not GnuCash. I previewed both of these as well as Grisbi and KMyMoney (even though it has an awkward name) is the better of the three. I could go into the many reasons why I think kMyMoney is better but that is not the point.

If anyone has gone through the exercise of compiling KMyMoney and can give me some pointers I would appreciate it.

Ubuntu has a compiled version of kmymoney in the repository called kmymoney2. Maybe this is already good enough for you that you don't need to compile it yourself.

You can install it via the package manager as any other software (see also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement)

Can you help with this problem?
