 from your build directory (install.sh does this for you).

 If you didn't run cmake yourself to define another prefix, gnucash

Open an gcdev msys shell
cd /c/gcdev/gnucash-on-windows.git
. ./devrc.sh
cd /c/gcdev/gnucash/inst
./bin/gnucash.exe

Note that sourcing devrc.sh is local to the msys shell in which you run it and 
it will only last until you close the shell. So you have to redo this each 
time you wish to run gnucash from within the msys shell.

Note also there are two dots in the sourcing command. The first dot means 
source the following script. The second dot refers to the current directory.

If the dots are confusing, you can probably also do
source ./devrc.sh
