[Gtk-osx-users] LibSoup buid fails HARD

[Thinus P. <th...@po...>]

Hi there

I am trying to build gnucash on OS X 10.10

I have followed all the instructions and am running into some issues:

1. gwenhywfar fails to build

directory.c:207:7: error: implicit declaration of function '_NSGetExecutablePath' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

This is easy to “fix”: Edit src/os/posix/Makefile and remove the -Werror=Implicit-function-declaration from the file, building continues

2. libsoup fails hard

GISCAN   Soup-2.4.gir
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/thinus/gnucash-stable/bin/g-ir-scanner", line 55, in <module>

it crashes python with a dialog box from OS X, I just cannot seem to get past this one.

Anyone else running into this issue?

Kind regards
