Hi Geert,
I hadn't tried to run gnucash from the build directory, only the installed
directories under /usr/local.
Applied the patch, uninstalled the previous install, cleaned the build
directory and rebuilt 4.7. Again no problems with cmake or ninja or the
install itself but the same problem when running gnucash. I've attached the
trace file and the patched gschema file.
$ gnucash --debug
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
