[GNC] Uninstall GC

[Adrien Monteleone]

Curious about that cmake line...

Was that: /home/dennis/.local/home/dennis/Applications/gnucash-3.1?

Looks like an extra nested /home/dennis in there or am I reading that wrong? (If I am, apologies for the noise)

Regards,
Adrien

Installing GnuCash from apt will put everything in /usr like all of the other programs on the machine and install a new desktop file pointing there.
