guile-www-2.37 compatibility
Last modified: 2018-06-29 23:28:17 UTC
Created attachment 271585 [details] [review] Patch fixing the problem. guile-www-2.37 removed 'main'. Adapt one file to that. Applies to 2.6.x series but also git head as of today.
Thank you for your patch. I haven't applied it yet because it would break the yahoo historical quote retrieval on systems that don't have a recent version of guile-www installed. (For example, Fedora doesn't ship guile-www at all as far is I can see). I was hoping to fix this by updating the internal guile www version gnucash carries, but I failed to find the source code for the guile www module. Searching for "guile www" lists lots of guile links but the www part is too generic to be helpful. Can you perhaps point me in the right direction ?
Thanks for looking at this bug report. The Guile-WWW Homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/guile-www/
Some further investigation showed that guile-www was only referenced in dead code. So instead of adapting for guile-www-2.37 I have opted to remove the dead code and the dependency on guile-www altogether. Thanks for bringing this under our attention.
