Building GnuCash 3 on openSuSE

Hi!

I did not build GnuCash myself for some time, but with 3.0 I did
try again.

I'm running openSUSE Leap 42.3.

So the first error was about gettext being only version 0.19.2.
OK, this is easily circumvented with -D ALLOW_OLD_GETTEXT=ON,
but still a bit unfortunate because openSUSE Leap 42.3 ships only
0.19.2 and openSUSE Leap 42.3 is the most recent stable openSUSE
distribution.

Next problem was GTEST. openSUSE Leap 42.3 has a package libgtest0,
but this does not help. So I downloaded googletest and set the
GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT variables.

With this environment set cmake completes, but make aborts with this
error:
