I'm pretty sure that the GnuCash source code doesn't actually depend
on any APIs that are present in 10.5 but that are not present in 10.2.
I think the real issue is that it takes a lot of time and work to get
GnuCash to build on any system at all, so the maintainers
understandably want to limit their builds to the fewest systems that
are likely to reach the most users.
Thus I expect that if you know how to write software, and you were to
try to build GnuCash on 10.2, you could get a working GnuCash binary
out of it.
But GnuCash has so very many dependencies that the difficulty of
building GnuCash is absolutely legendary. Thus you must have not only
dedication, but nerves of steel, to succeed at a GnuCash build no
matter what platform you are targeting.
Ever Faitfhul,
Don Quixote
