John Ralls	66817bb997	Rework directory determination in CMake builds. ... Sets paths for finding componenents depending on the state of ENABLE_BINRELOC, GNC_UNINSTALLED, GNC_BUILDDIR and whether any install paths have been set outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. GNUInstallDirs changes the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR depending on the operating system and distro. When CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is /usr, /usr/local, or any subdirectory of /opt it also changes CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_SYSCONFDIR to /etc. An earlier commit by Aaron Laws mirrors the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR to the build library directory. It's possible for builders to set any of the install directories anywhere they please. Setting any directory outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX breaks Binreloc so the toplevel CMakeLists.txt now detects that and disables Binreloc. If Binreloc is enabled then all path queries use it to find paths. This works in the build directory because the gnucash executable and all of the test programs are in build_directory/bin and LIBDIR, DATADIR, and SYSCONFDIR can be found in the same root path. If Binreloc is disabled then in order to build or run programs from the build directory one must set GNC_UNINSTALLED and set GNC_BUILDDIR to the absolute path of the build directory. When those are set GNC_BUILDDIR replaces CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in all paths that are subdirectories of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX; paths that are not in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX are appended whole to GNC_BUILDDIR. This process is constent between CMake and gnc_path_get_foo. GnuCash is unlikely to run from a DESTDIR without Binreloc.	9 years ago
Geert Janssens	1238b9d8cd	Prevent gcc from searching config.h in the current directory ... This will avoid a ninja-build from picking up a config.h generated by the autotools build (in the root build directory). Picking up the wrong config.h may lead to all kinds of subtle issues if the autotools run was done with different options than the cmake run.	9 years ago
Geert Janssens	d266ee346c	Fix build failures if userdata_home exists but gnc_userdata_home doesn't ... userdata_home is a different directory on each platform we support (default /home/janssege/.local/share on linux for example) and gnc_userdata_home is normally userdata_home/GnuCash. These directories may not always exist (yet) in all circumstances, so properly handle all of these possible situations.	9 years ago
Geert Janssens	a8cccc00f3	Minor tweaks to the userdata_dir logic ... - have gnc_validate_directory throw as well in case of a missing directory that it shouldn't create. This allows to remove 3 other throws - slightly adjust the error message in case of missing directory - never migrate when the final directory is a temporary (sub)directory	9 years ago

Geert Janssens	449d3ca32d	Windows: check permissions actually used on the platform ... The code assumed these would be the same as on all other platforms which turns out not to be the case	9 years ago
Geert Janssens	d96bb3ebd5	Amend previous commit ... The utf8 conversion is only used in the Windows specific section so there's no need to define an overloaded function on std::string in this case. Also CMakeLists.txt doesn't require the MingW specific library name setting for boost::filesystem. Just removing the hardcoded one allows the build to pick the right name up from the Boost_LIBRARIES variable.	9 years ago
Geert Janssens	d6677ff39f	Convert boost::filesystem path strings to utf8. ... Fixes windows build.	9 years ago
Geert Janssens	1b3a0e56ff	Use boost::filesystem's built-in conversion between character encodings. ... This should fix the wide character mixup on Windows	9 years ago
Geert Janssens	045ee429bf	Check GNC_DATA_HOME environment to override default userdata location. ... This replaces GNC_DOT_DIR as it was called in older gnucash releases.	9 years ago
Geert Janssens	a153412e5a	Use platform dependent locations for gnucash user's data (gnc_userdata_home) ... - Linux: use whatever the xdg spec dictates - Windows: use AppData(Roaming) - OS X/Quarz: use NSApplicationSupportDirectory special directory, which typically resolves to $HOME/Library/Application Support If the preferred directory can't be used the code will fallback to $HOME/.gnucash (the old location) if it exists. It won't create it however. Instead if missing it will fall back to the platform's temporary directory. Code is added also to automatically migrate all data from the old location to the new (only the first time).	9 years ago
Geert Janssens	ae75bc963f	Rewrite several file path routines to use boost::filesystem ... This is a basis for moving .gnucash to a more modern location for application specific user data (following the xdg spec).	9 years ago
