Git repository access

You can clone the repository with

git clone http://www.ulogic.org/~jb/debit/debit.git

Building from the git repository is *not* recommended, as it requires many additional pieces of software, which won't be reported as missing by autotools:

  • autoconf, automake
  • icoutils, inkscape, imagemagick, netpbm (all of this for regenerating artwork)
  • glade-2

If you just want to build the software yourself, you may find the tarball below an easier alternative.

All of the following alternatives are derived from the -master branch of the git repository. They are rebuilt automatically and not really tested... If you find bugs in these packages, or if they seem out-of-date to you, please have a look at the latest buildlog and contact me that I may correct the problem.

Standard tarball

The tarball should compile on any standard unix target.

  • glib is always required even for command-line tools
  • cairo is required if you want to be able to generate pdfs
  • gtk+ is required if you want to be able to get the GUI tools
  • debit tarball last but not least, the tarball itself.

Debian packages

These packages are built on debian unstable and require dependencies from unstable.

Ubuntu packages

Edgy packages. Dapper is a bit too old.

Source RPM

This source RPM should allow you to rebuild the rpms for various RPM distributions. Mock-tested.

Fedora Core 6, 7, RHEL5/CentOS5 binary RPMs

Too many combinations available ! You need *two* rpm packages for your arch. One containing the binaries (debit), and one containing the database (debit-data). Please head to the downloads section and download both for your flavor of RedHat?.

These RPMs are built from the source RPM above via mock running on a Fedora Core 5 machine. RHEL5 rpms are actually generated with CentOS5. The custom mock setup files for CentOS build can be sent on demand.

Windows installer

This is barely tested. Windows is not my platform of choice... The programs are cross-compiled from linux, the installers are built under wine. You need a very recent version of the GTK+ runtime to run xiledit, which is available from http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net. Direct link to the GTK+ runtime installer:

Then you need debit itself:

Old win32 stuff

Before a decently recent GTK+ was packaged by the gladewin32 team, I did a package of mine, which I still use under wine to do the cross-compilation. This was packaged from Cody Russel's website. You still can download the installer here:
