The gnucash website offers prebuilt binaries for os x. You can download those and treat them like a regular application.


you can always do that.

With “native” I expected an app that does not need a running x11 server to run, but this is most definitely *not* the case (I tried and, if I quit XQuartz, gnucash closes as well). I also expected to have a clickable icon I could just put somewhere in Applications on the dock. Completely wrong…
