[Kmymoney] Compiling Kmymoney and Libofx problems

[Ian Anderson]

I guess every list has a Linux beginner who digs deeper and deeper holes
thinking he can solve things himself. My apologies therefore for this
post.

I used KMymoney2 1.05 last year and it worked well with either OFX or
Aqbanking downloads. I was irritated however by the Libofx daylight
saving bug which moves every downloaded transaction forwards by one day.
This happens in both Aqbanking and OFX downloads.  Thomas Baumgart wrote
the patch for this in Feb 2010, and kindly offered to help me recompile
Libofx. (I think that's what he meant? I should have got back to him!)

Recently I decided to move to KMymoney 4.5.and have a go myself. The
current version of libofx-0.9.1 still contains the bug in the file
ofx_utilities.cpp. I extracted the libofx-0.9.1 tar then downloaded and
pasted his fixed Ver 1.13 of ofx_utilities.cpp in place of Ver 1.11
contained in the extracted tar. I also had to paste in newer versions of
5 or 6 other libofx files which stopped the make. By downloading and
pasting them over the old versions and then recompiling each time the
make continued further and further until in the end it finished with no
more error messages. So I hope my libofx is OK ?? (That's the first
question)

Working in Ubuntu 10.04 desktop I compiled KMymoney 4.5, and it's
running almost 100%, except that there are missing icons around the
programme. (a ? icon is shown instead) 
Especially in the home view (only Home and Schedules icons are normal). 
In the home screen only the file, settings, and help menus open. 
The desktop Office menu shows KMymoney but with no coin icon, and it
doesn't start up from there. 
Worst of all there is no OFX plugin to detect in the programme settings
so I can't see if the download bug is really fixed!.
I can manually enter data, and move around the other features in the
programme and have opened my old file from 1.0.5. I'm so close!!  
However I cant face entering every transaction manually for the rest of
my life after the near successful downloads of 1.0.5. (Have to have OFX)

During the KMymoney make I noticed several queries/?failures at the 75%
area concerning building the CXX object relating to KMymoneyview.cpp  Is
this relevant to the problem? (I saved the lines)

Finally after numerous compilations and deletions of the build directory
I used DCMAKE _INITIAL_PREFIX=/usr/ as in the KDE techbase and I'm now
afraid I could have too many stray files of KMymoney 4.5.  I don't know
how to uninstall the bits in usr/local, or even if I should?

After two solid days of trying and a look at the Sourceforge user
archives, I would be grateful for any help you can offer me.
Kind regards Ian Anderson
