Dan Fairly complete build instructions are given in the wiki https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux. These were written primarily from Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Debian distros and dwork for GC4.4 on LinuxMint20/Ubuntu 20.04. The critical step is getting all the dependency headers and libraries loaded.the first time and these are listed on one of the breakout pages. The cmake procedure stops with an error if something is missing so you just install that and rerun it until it completes without error. In most cases you can ignore warnings that come up (e.g. re gettext) unless they are errors. The instructions given there for dependency installation can be easily turned into a script and/or just copied and pasted to the terminal.
There is little need for a VM just to build an operating version unless you are working on development and even then it is probably good to keep the most recent stable version as your operating version and not use a development version on you primary accounting data files David. ----- David Cousens -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
