Building 2.6.19 on Ubuntu Xenial

[Plutocrat]

Sorry, a bit late in answering this, and surprised that no-one else chipped in ... but in case it helps someone in the future, you can get pretty recent versions of GnuCash for Ubuntu etc in the getdeb repository.

Saves a lot of messing around with compilers, dependencies etc. Having said that, its usually updated pretty quickly after a release, but I now see its still on 2.6.17. Strange.
