Gnucash 2.7.5 Installation

[Roger Miskowicz]

I am having difficulty building gnucash 2.7.5 from the latest git clone.

I have modified  by:

adding:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)

changed:
#include <gdk/gdk.h>
to:
#include <gdk-3.0/gdk/gdk.h>

I am using:

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/~/gnucash/gnucash-devel -D
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/gnucash ../gnucash

which gives me the following errors:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (file):
  file problem creating directory: /glib-2.0/schemas


-- Performing Test have_mod_mask
-- Performing Test have_mod_mask - Failed
CMake Error at gnome/CMakeLists.txt:59 (gnc_add_swig_guile_command):
  Unknown CMake command "gnc_add_swig_guile_command".

My OS is: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

I would appreciate any help in addressing these errors as well as any
related guidance for building 2.7.5.
