[GNC] How to install GnuCash from Source for Linux ?

[David Cousens]

There are some .deb installation files that Stephen Butler produced for
Ubuntu 18.04 which should work under LM 19.3 (search the mailing list for
posts re debian should find them)

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux  covers building from source
of the most up to date versions.

I currently have 3.8 built on Linux Mint 19.3 runnning with no problems.
Once you get all the dependencies loaded it is generally pretty straight
forward, but then I've been buidling it for ~10 years. 

Pay attention to the relative addressing of the source directory from the
build directory in the cmake command as this is the thing most people new to
building GnuCash have trouble with.

Good luck
