Building 2.8 on Ubuntu 16.04 - Wiki Proposal

[Carsten Rinke]

Hi there,

starting with an Ubuntu 16.04 installation from scratch, this is what I 
did to make GnuCash 2.8 build with autotools:

autogen.sh:
===========
sudo apt-get install intltool
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake autotools-dev libsigsegv2 m4
sudo apt-get install libtool libltdl-dev
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev

configure
=========
sudo apt-get install icu-devtools libicu-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install guile-2.0 guile-2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install swig2.0
sudo apt-get install libxml++2.6-dev
sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev
sudo apt-get install xsltproc
sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev
sudo apt-get install google-mock
sudo apt-get install gtk+3.0
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt-get install webkit2gtk-3.0 # >600MB !

make (xml backend)
=============
mkdir build-master
cd build-master
../gnucash/autogen.sh
../gnucash/configure --prefix=<path>/gnucash-master 
--enable-compile-warnings --disable-error-on-warning --disable-dbi
make
sudo make install

If this looks ok to you I would put it onto the Wikipage 1:1 as a 
starting point.
