[GNC-dev] make dist (from a really old thread)

[Stephen M. Butler]

Sorry, but trying to pick up a project from where I left it in Nov 2019 
on this thread [GNC-dev] archive of GnuCash 
<https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2019-November/044408.html>.  
Thought I had tried it and got it to work in 2019.

Today I cloned gnucash into the default folder ('gnucash'); cd into that 
folder; checked out v4.4; tried make dist; then tried ninja dist.  Got 
error messages.

git checkout 4.4
HEAD is now at 7dd39b092 Release GnuCash 4.4.
<https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2019-November/044408.html>
git describe
4.4
<https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2019-November/044408.html>
make dist
make: *** No rule to make target 'dist'.  Stop.
<https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2019-November/044408.html>
ninja dist
ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory
<https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2019-November/044408.html>
So, after a checkout of a version, what steps are needed to generate the 
orig.tar file?
