Q
Is there any alternative available for this tool?
A
yeah , there is , somw are Money Manager Ex, You Need A Budget, Homebank, moneyGuru
Q
When I start KMyMoney I get a "Malformed URL" error. What's wrong?
A
Usually, the reason for this is that you didn't run 'make install' as root. This step actually copies all of the icons, and other files needed by KMyMoney to run properly. If you did run this, make sure you passed the correct prefix to 'configure' at the beginning of your compile.
Q
How can I use distcc to help speed up the compilation of KMyMoney, or other KDE (C++) applications?
A
After I first installed distcc, I couldn't get the distributed compiling to work. I stumbled upon this post in the Gentoo forums which told me how to get distcc to work with C++ applications. After I created the /usr/bin/dist++ shell script, (and performing an 'export CXX=dist++'), the next time I ran make on KMyMoney, it was being compiled on two machines.
Q
The Git version is broken! What do I do now?
A
Usually, the reason for this is that one of the developers made a change to the code that requires a clean reconfigure. Please run a 'git pull --rebase' to update your local repository.
Q
Will KMymoney work on my X/Ubuntu desktop?
A
It will work, but you will have to install the basic KDE libraries first, as Xubuntu comes with Gnome libraries by default. If you want to install from Git, you should install build-essential and kdelibs4-dev. The second one will install a ton of other KDE-related packages.
