[GNC-dev] Noob: setup and build master

[Jean Laroche]

Not having luck building master.
I followed John's instructions.
- I have no libgnc or libgnucash in $PREFIX/lib
- I created the xcode project using cmake -G Xcode -D 
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX -D GTEST_ROOT=$SRCROOT/googletest 
$SRCROOT/gnucash-git

But the build fails with this error:

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

I do that in a jhbuild shell because as I said elsewhere I build from the terminal prompt, so I want to make an edit and then run ninja && ninja check (or more often ninja test-target && bin/test-program, TDD and all that).

In maint you set -DGTEST_ROOT=path/to/googletest/googletest -DGMOCK_ROOT=path/to/googletest/googlemock and in master you set only -DGTEST_ROOT=path/to/googletest. It works best to have a separate build directory and rm -rf * && cmake ... to switch branches.

If *that* fails the `rm -r $PREFIX/lib/libgnc* $PREFIX/lib/gnucash` should be sufficient.
