Am looking to find, and install a financial program, such as: gnucash, homebank, grisbi, etc., to run in FatDog64. I've even dl'd MoneyManagerEx.deb(and also .tar), to try it out, but to no avail. Would sure appreciate some suggestions. Thank you.

I have used my own system for my business the last 10 years. It is only suitable for small businesses and there is no module for employees... And worst - it is in Norwegian. But since I can't see your origin, I make a wild reply.

Thank you very much for your reply. However, I do not know the Norwegian language. Thanks again.

Consider running windows programs under wine. I noticed that there are portable versions of gnucash and moneymanager on portableapps,com.

Not all windows programs run, or run absolutely perfectly, but you may be surprised at what does work..

Thanks for your suggestions. To quote,"Been there, done that." Results using WINE, unsat.

I've been using gnuCash for years on various editions of Fatdog64, starting with about 710. This is old, but it works just fine. http://www.smokey01.com/ is the web page (click on software, then Fatdog 710 Packages by smokey01), and http://www.smokey01.com/fd710/packages/ ... 6_64-1.txz is the download link. I don't have a way to upgrade it, as the gnuCash developers don't release appimages, Fatdog64 doesn't mess with flatpacks, and compiling it and its dependencies is more than I can handle.

Hope that helps,

Dan

I was excited for a brief moment there @dr__Dan but that doesn't work on latest FatDog
Missing libguile.so.17 Can probably work with that however when I've got more time

@p310don, I must have taken care of that sometime along the way, because it is working here on 810. I see a Guile package on the Smokey01 page, so that's likely where I got it.

I still had no luck with gnucash, but did get homebank out of the same repo from smokey01.

Another bit of software that I've been using a bit lately (haven't decided that I like it though) is this one:

I am pretty sure it is made specifically for Australia only, so might not be that useful for everyone, but it works no problems. Download the .deb, convert to fatdog package and install.

You'll find numerous financial and business templates on the web which can be used OOTB in LibreOffice, OpenOffice and with a little work under gnumeric. See this thread, viewtopic.php?p=1347#p1347

MoneyManager EX will run under Wine.

So will InfoCentral-portable, viewtopic.php?p=6313#p6313. Making a brief appearance in the 2nd Screenshot on that page is dayplanr.ica. InfoCentral is an object oriented database manager and creator. It's download will include several databases among them dayplanr.ica which, IIRC, is a full-fledged project scheduler. Names can be deceiving. So it's best to open each included 'template' and see what it does.
The link on that page is to Mediafire where, in addition to the application and its included templates you'll also find Docs.zip. Docs.zip provides documentation on how to use the Templates OOTB, to add more features to those, and to create your own databases.
Is there a version of Planner, viewtopic.php?p=1342#p1342, such as the planner-0.14.6.tar.bz2 for EasyOS, http://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/amd64/ ... /t2/april/ which will run OOTB under FatDog? or perhaps with the addition of a couple of libs?
