gnucash-2.0.2 souce configure fails

[Bob/Paul]

Binary package hint: gnucash

The Gnucash-2.0.2 source package from the feisty repositories does not compile. The binary package seems to work, but I would prefer to build the package myself.

1) Install pre-requisites:
sudo apt-get install build-essential devscripts fakeroot
sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash

2) Create a folder to build the package, and download
mkdir gnucash-deb
cd gnucash-deb
apt-get source gnucash

3) Attempt to build the package
cd gnucash-2.0.2
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc -rfakeroot

Results of attempted build end with:

#define HAVE_DLERROR 1
#define HAVE_LIBM 1
#define HAVE_GUILE 1

configure: exit 1
touch configure-stamp
dh_testdir
# dh_testroot
dh_clean -k

I'm having the same trouble when trying to compile with hbci support. So, I can confirm.

Could be two deps that make it fail, bug reports are here:

92633 Needs libgnomeprintui2.2-dev build-dependency

and here:

92598 Broken dependency (libgtkhtml)

[Adrien Cunin (adri2000)]

Bug #92477: gnucash is uninstallable and needs a rebuild but it currently fails to build because of a bug in libgtkhtml.
Bug #92633: gnucash needs to build-depend on libgnomeprintui2.2-dev, otherwise it also causes an FTBFS.

I'm closing this bug, please refer to the two above ones.
