ledger v3

[orlandow]

I started using ledger a few weeks ago and I would love to use its latest features but this is the only version of ledger for windows I've found.

Do you by any chance have compiled ledger 3 binaries?

Thanks a lot.

I guess that it might be possible to compile ledger 3 on windows without modifications - install cygwin and libraries required (check https://github.com/ledger/ledger/blob/next/INSTALL.md) and then try to compile.

I do not have windows machine to experiment with that at the moment. If you can setup windows, cygwin and dependencies on a VPS, I might be able to help.

Thanks for the response.

I got it to compile but now I'm getting the ledger.exe file and a libledger-3.dll and a lot of other files.

libledger-3.dll is over 100 MB, I noticed your binaries are less than 3 MB and the files are different...

Am I including something that is not required or missing some optimization flag or something?

I do not think you are missing anything. Do not try to compare ledger 2 and 3, I believe that they are quite different.

Does ledger.exe work? Is there a test suite which you can run to verify that?

Try to experiment with upx and similar software. And, please share you binaries, people ask for them sometimes.

Thanks.

I tried upx and managed to reduce the total size to 28 MB, I'll open a PR tomorrow...

could you upload the binaries? I just got into using ledger with emacs, would be very interested in a more up-to-date version.

[orlandow]

Done, I tried to pack every dependency so it runs on a PC without cygwin installed, that's why the zip is almost 30 MB

[Dapuva76]

You're the best. Thanks for the quick reply!

Hmm ok somethings wrong with the way filenames get processed. This is what happens when I try to use it:

Error: Cannot read journal file "/cygdrive/c/Users/Dapuva76/c:/Users/Dapuva76/Docu ments/ledger/ledger.dat"

The file ledger.dat is of course located at c:/Users/Dapuva76/Documents/ledger/ledger.dat

[orlandow]

Hmm... I see... try using a relative path: ledger -f "~/documents/ledger/ledger.dat" balance. That's how I use it.

I don't know what's wrong though... perhaps I messed something compiling it, I hadn't used cygwin before and just followed some tutorial
