Mike I presume you have built the version for Stretch as the repository version is still at 2.6.15 (or are using one of Stephen Butler's debian packages). He started packaging them because the debian maintainers had no one working on GnuCash. The release notes for 3.4 indicate that the changes should be present. I do remember there was some confusion over the commit with the changes (my ineptitude with git at the time) and John manually pulled the changes in, but I can't remember now which version that was for. If possible I would try upgrading to a later version. The GnuCash wiki recommends building the latest version on Debian because of the delay in updating the official debian port. which affects both Ubuntu and Linux Mint. I went over to building the latest release a long time ago because they were generally so far behind. The wiki notes on building for Linux (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux) should either work or be adaptable for Debian without too many changes as Debian uses apt or apt-get. Once you have all the dependencies loaded it is usually straight forward. Cmake will exit with an error message if a dependency is missing. the process is then to locate and load the required library and development headers and then rerun cmake till it runs to completeion. I use the attached shell script to load the dependencies for development. It includes a few that are normally present on most systems by default which I noticed were missing on a fresh Linux Mint install gnucash-development-dependency-setup.sh <http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/file/t375329/gnucash-development-dependency-setup.sh> . I cant remember whether Debian uses "apt" or "apt-get" but if it is the latter, define "apt" as an alias for "apt-get" and the script should run.
