Bug#703645: ITP: postbooks - ERP, CRM and accounting software

[Daniel Pocock <daniel@pocock.com.au>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Daniel Pocock <daniel@pocock.com.au>

Upstream:

  http://www.xtuple.org
  https://www.xtuple.com/postbooks

License: CPAL (derived from Mozilla)
 https://www.xtuple.com/CPAL

Initial observations:

Depends on openrpt and csvimp (from the same upstream)
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338784

I've done a successful build of openrpt, csvimp and xtuple (the main
package) from SVN on a squeeze system



Here are some observations:

Fetch build dependencies:

  apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev

Checkout source:

svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/postbooks/code/openrpt/trunk openrpt
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/postbooks/code/csvimp/trunk csvimp
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/postbooks/code/xtuple/trunk xtuple

cd openrpt && qmake && make && \
  cd ../csvimp && qmake && make && \
  cd ../xtuple && qmake && make

Fetch runtime dependencies:

  apt-get install postgres libqt4-sql-psql postgresql-contrib-9.1

Do the postgres setup:

Get a copy of init.sql and a default database (e.g. demo or quickstart)
from sourceforge
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/postbooks/files/03%20PostBooks-databases/

Here I am using the default password admin from init.sql, change it for
a real setup of course:

su
su - postgres
psql -U postgres -f /tmp/init.sql postgres
createdb -U admin -W -h localhost xtuple
pg_restore -U admin -W -h localhost -d xtuple quickstart.backup -v

and then run

  xtuple/bin/xtuple

If there is an error about the database not matching the xtuple version,
download another database or if feeling brave, just edit
guiclient/version.cpp to match the database version from the error message
