Gnucash 2.7.5 Installation

[Roger Miskowicz]

Thanks John, I looked at that line several times and didn't notice the '/'.

Now using:

cmake   ..

the output seems fine except for:

-- Performing Test have_mod_mask - Failed

Even so, I tried 'make' with the following failure:

I am guessing I need to fix:

-- Performing Test have_mod_mask - Failed

but have no idea how.

I have checked that all the following are installed, note I am not sure it
is important but I have swig3.0:

sudo apt-get install intltool
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake autotools-dev libsigsegv2 m4
sudo apt-get install libtool libltdl-dev
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install icu-devtools libicu-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install guile-2.0 guile-2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install swig2.0                     *** here I have swig3.0 ***
sudo apt-get install libxml++2.6-dev
sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev
sudo apt-get install xsltproc
sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev
sudo apt-get install google-mock
sudo apt-get install gtk+3.0
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev


Again, I would appreciate your support,

Regards,
  Roger
