[GNC] Ubuntu distribution version

[Derek Zehr]

Thanks for the info everyone.

So now I'm trying to build GnuCash 4.1 on Ubuntu 18, mainly because I 
opened my files on GnuCash 4.1 on a Windows device. Maybe I'm getting 
myself into more trouble than it's worth. But I'm currently stuck at 
Cmake not finding Googletest. Attached is the terminal lines that show 
what's up, and why I think it should find Googletest. Hope someone on 
here has a bit of experience with this. If it weren't for the extensive 
documentation on GnuCash's website about how to build it on Linux, I 
wouldn't even be close to this far. :)

Thanks,

Derek
