[GNC] Building issues

Wed Apr 25 09:52:01 EDT 2018

Dear Geert,

I erased all previous GNUcash trace in /usr/local
I started in a new build directory :     /home/cgarcia/cashproc
the source directory          /home/cgarcia/casfuente/gnucash.git

the results:

I'm not an expert at all, but I had no problem compiling previous 
version of gnucash in 2.6.XX , but I've never could compile any version 
of 2.7.xx nor 3.0

Any further information please don't hesistate to ask me.

Best Regards

Carlos
