[GNC-dev] Building GnuCash 4.0 on Linux MInt20

[David Cousens]

Having a problem building on a new install of Linux Mint Ulyana (20).

Can anyone make sense of the following? It appears to be a problem with gettext. I have 0.19.8.1-10build1 installed but
noted in the cmake initial output when I was installing the dependencies that 2.0 was preferred but only required for
building a translation file. I assumed this to mean 0.19.8 would be OK for the app. 

Cmake output:
$ cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DWITH_PYTHON=ON ..
CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:251 (message):
  Gettext version 0.20 or more recent is required to translate the
  'developer_name' tag in gnucash.appdata.xml.  All but that tag will be
  translated in the generated file.
