Thanks for all the help -- I'll try again later.
In the meantime, I would point out that the wiki is misleading.
Consider the sentence:

"For the very latest source code, get the sources from Git or use the
latest release source file of type gnucash-<version>.tar.gz."

towards the top of the build instructions. I'm a long-time github
user, and so I know that tagged releases can be downloaded as
tarballs. When I looked, there was indeed a tarball on github with the
expected name. So I downloaded it and started from there. So may I
suggest a slight re-phrasing:

"If you want to build from the very latest source, clone the github
repository [link]; otherwise to build an 'official' version, download
the source tarball from [link]."

By the way, can anyone point me to the *official* tarballs? Because I
can't see a link from the wiki...
Cheers,
Kevin
