Hi John,

Thanks very much for your help.
A little more please...

On my Ubuntu 16.04:

sudo apt-get update -qq
sudo apt-get build-dep -qq gnucash > /dev/null
sudo apt-get install -qq git bash-completion cmake make swig xsltproc
libdbd-sqlite3 texinfo ninja-build libboost-all-dev libgtk-3-dev
libwebkit2gtk-3.0-dev > /dev/null
sudo apt-get --reinstall install -qq language-pack-en language-pack-fr
cd /home/cgood/github
git clone https://github.com/google/googletest -b release-1.8.0 gtest
 (created /home/cgood/github/gtest)

cd /home/cgood/github/gnucash-maint
git checkout maint
git pull --rebase upstream maint
git push origin maint

/home/cgood/github/gnucash-maint/README.dependencies :
	guile		2.2.0 or 2.0.0
	googletest          1.7.0

As 'make uninstall' didn't work from my 2.6.21 git repo:
  cd /home/cgood/github/gnucash-maint-install
  rm -r *

cd /home/cgood/github/gnucash-maint-build
rm -r *
cmake -G Ninja -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/github/gnucash-maint-install -D

   -D WITH_OFX=OFF -DGTEST_ROOT=$HOME/github/gtest/googletest
-DGMOCK_ROOT=$HOME/cgood/github/gtest/googlemock \
