Gnucash on Linux Mint

[DaveC49]

Hi Les,

The Linux Mint Software manager version is usually 1-2 releases behind the
latest release of Gnucash.  getDeb is sometimes a bit more up to date.
Unless there are specific features/fixes in the latest release that you need
then 2.6.17 which is the current LM version should be OK. 

If not, it is not too hard to build on Linux Mint using the instructions at
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building#Ubuntu_16.04_LTS_.28Xenial_Xerus.29.
If you aren't familiar with cmake use the Autotools build.

I usually run ..gnucash/configure setting the --prefix  option to
/usr/local/bin rather than /opt/gnucash  or /opt/gnucash-devel until it
reports no errors, installing any packages it reports it needs as errors
that are not already installed. There is a list of dependencies in the
README.dependencies files and most can be installed directly with apt before
running the ..gnucash/configure.
