I'm trying to build gnucash 3.0 on a machine running Ubuntu Linux 16.04,
following the instructions provided at
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building#Ubuntu_16.04_LTS_.28Xenial_Xerus.29>.
I had no problems until I got down to the step which says:

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<target>/gnucash-cmake -D
WITH_AQBANKING=OFF -D WITH_OFX=OFF ../gnucash

I'm not entirely clear what <target> should be. I looked an found that
my current version off GnuCash, 2.6.5, was installed at
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnucash. I removed that version, and used the
following command, with the following results:

~/Downloads/gnucash-3.0/build-cmake(133) sudo cmake -D
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnucash/gnucash-cmake -D
WITH_AQBANKING=OFF -D WITH_OFX=OFF ../gnucash

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
