[GNC-dev] Proposed updates to Wiki Build#Ubuntu pages

[DaveC49]

Jeffrey,

Can you copy the cmake command you used to the forum. That looks as though
the switch which should be preceded by a "-D"  has been interpreted as part
of the cmake target. Each swith needs to be preficed by "-D" and followed by
a space before any following switches. There also needs to be a space
between the last switch and the path to the top level source directory.  I
am in the process of updating the Ubuntu16.04 page of the Wiki accessible
from the Build GnuCash page expanding the description a lot. The command
format is illustrated there. I have yet to add a page on how to correctly
relative addressing of the top level source directory for cmake for various
locations of the build directory which seems to cause problems for new cmake
users (it did for me initially). I will try and do that this afternoon.

I would move to version 3.1 now that it has been released. I used building
and installing it to test out the instructions on the wiki page and it
worked fine. It has a lot of bug fixes.

David
