Compile Guncash

You wrote "build-deb" when it should be "build-dep".

Also, your path is incorrect in your configure.

You should not have that "gnucash/to" present.  That's only part of the
example.  Read the example on the page as words:

path_to_install_gnucash_to

Your prefix should be either /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin

You are also missing the hyphen between compile and warnings, the flag is:

--enable-compile-warnings


Most likely the path is the problem.  You created a path that the system
doesn't know how to find.  I'm sure if you look at the directory tree
you'll find a directory under /usr/bin called 'gnucash' and then inside
that a directory called 'to'.
