Hi!

This is a binary distribution of the X accountant program. The sources are
available at http://www.gnucash.org/xacc/download/xacc-1.0.17.tar.gz as
of 1999-02-17, however if you can't find them there feel free to request
a copy of the source from me, my email address is trask@tinaa.com.

I did not write any of this software. All I did was download it from the
location mentioned above, compile it, install it, and package it up in
Solaris pkgadd format.

My system is a SparcStation 20 running Solaris 2.6 with all the latest
patches. I compiled the package with GCC 2.8.1, and used the Motif libs
provided by the operating system. This binary distribution, as of this
writing, has NOT been tested on any other system. It may or may not work
for you.

I provide ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY! See the file COPYING in this distribution
for details.

Bug reports, feature requests, and random Xacc discussion should be 
directed at the xacc mailing list. See http://www.gnucash.org/xacc/ for
details.

The only problems that you should contact me about are:
  - Packaging errors... for instance if pkgadd chokes when you try to 
    install this or something.
  - Total failure to run... if this software doesn't work AT ALL, ie it
    core dumps immediately when you try to run it or something, it is 
    probably because it has some dependancy on the way my particular
    system is configured. If this happens to you, PLEASE send mail to me
    (trask@tinaa.com) as soon as possible so I can stop distributing this.

The README file in the source distribution says:

> xacc seems to be having problems with:
> Solaris -- Sparc  -- won't compile due to va-args in XmHTML

This is a simple and common problem when compiling various software under
Solaris using gcc... all you have to do is edit the Makefiles and remove
all of the "-I/usr/include" references. This is explained in the solaris
FAQ at http://www.wins.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2.html, question 5.9.

So, if my package won't work for you, now you know how to get it to 
compile for yourself. :-)

The directory dist-docs contains the original README, COPYRIGHT, and some
other files included with the source distibution.

Happy Hunting, -Chris
