I did read the guidance initially, but not thoroughly. I have gone back to
following the specific guidance; installed all of the required packages.
Tried the suggested cmake with a build directory not under the source
directory. Received the error message
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/paul/Downloads/gnucash-2.6.12"
does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
CMake wasn't included in the installs. Trying ./configure --disable-dbi on
the tarball still fails this time with
Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you
should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
environment variable No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.24.0) not met;
consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your
libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
gtk+-2.0 is installed, the latest from Ubuntu.
Suggestions are welcome to help me get further.
