I finally got a successful build, and here is how I did it.

Start at http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSX/Quartz

Look at the preliminaries:
1. download .jhbuildrc-custom into your homefolder
2. edit .jhbuildrc-custom, add 'skip.append("openssl")' somewhere in the file
3. download gtk-osx-build-setup.sh from https://live.gnome.org/GTK+/OSX/Building
4. run "sh gtk-osx-build-setup.sh"
5. run "jhbuild bootstrap"

That takes care of the setup. At this point in time I backed up the
gnucash-stable dir

Now:
6. run "LC_ALL=C jhbuild build". OS X does not define LC_ALL and
webkit likes to have it
7. The build will fail at gwenhywfar with a error about implicit
function declaration
8. Hit 4 to drop to a shell, edit src/os/posix/directory.c and add "#
include <mach-o/dyld.h>" just after "#  include
<CoreFoundation/CFBundle.h>"
9. type "exit"
10. Hit 1, Rerun phase Build

11. libsoup with a bang, it crashes python hard
12. hit 4 to drop to a shell
13. type "cd ../glib-networking-2.42.1/"
14. type "make uninstall && make install"
15. type "exit"
16. Hit 1 to Rerun phase Build

17. webkit will fail with: Source/WebCore/xml/XPathParser.cpp:480:22:
error: no matching function for call to 'xpathyyparse'
18. Hit 4 to drop to a shell.
19. go one level up "cd .."
20. type "cd pkgs" to go to the downloaded source archives
21. Backup the original webkit archive "cp webkit-1.6.1.tar.gz
webkit-1.6.1.tar.gz_orig"
22. extract webkit "tar xpvf webkit-1.6.1.tar.gz"
23. enter the directory "cd webkit-1.6.1"
24. apply the attached patch webkit.patch. "patch -Np1 < webkit.patch"

This patch is a collection of the following:
Fixes some Bison incompatibilities:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92264
Fixes the "cannot inline" warnings:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124186
My own, remove Tools/DumpRenderTree from the build process by removing
the references to it from various GNUmakefile.am files
DumpRenderTree fails to build due to some pointer incompatibilities
between itself and nullptr.

25. From the webkit root do a "aclocal"
26. From the webkit root do a "automake"
27. Go one directory level up - to the source archives "cd .."
28. Re-create the tar.gz archive for webkit "rm webkit-1.6.1.tar.gz &&
tar cpvf webkit-1.6.1.tar webkit-1.6.1 && gzip webkit-1.6.1.tar"
29. exit
30. [6] Go to phase "wipe directory and start over"
31. Type "yes"
32. Webkit should build now and it should go all the way to the end of
building gnucash

Thanks to John for helping with known issues. I hope this can help
someone else out there, maybe even make it into the official build
process.

Kind regards
Thinus

Hi John

Thanks for the tip on setting the env variable in .jhbuildrc-custom

The LC_ALL error was one that I picked up. clang on 10.10 definitely threw that error. Not LANG or LC_ALL is set by default on OS X 10.10 in the terminal. The other had to do with DumpRenderTree, a utility that is not even installed (since it is listed in the noinst key of the makefile. That one caused build errors and after removing it from the build, it completed successfully. )

The moduleset link in the jhbuildrc-custom downloadable from http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSX/Quartz downloads and builds webkit-1.6.1. I cannot see a webkitGTK package being downloaded and built for gnucash-stable. The moduleset may then contain the incorrect link to the moduleset for gnucash-stable. Can you confirm that this is the case?

Kind regards
Thinus
