GnuCash C API example

This is a simple demo software that shows how to use GnuCash C API.

When executed the program will:
- open the book located at "data/testBook.gnucash"
- print the first level account names
- print "Income" account transaction details
- create a new transaction between "Checking Account" and "Expenses" accounts
- save the modified file and release the lock

You can check the book file using GnuCash and change the code to test the API.

I made this sinmple example because I found GnuCash documentation a bit lacking on how to start using the C API.
There are different languages bindings and workarounds to manipulate GnuCash data, but I wanted to use C in a proper way.

A couple of scripts are provided to compile and execute the code.
Once the required packages are installed they should run on every linux distro.
A binary (compiled on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS) is also included, together with the test GnuCash book.

Feel free to reach out for any problem or suggestion.
