[GNC] Correct environment variables for Linux?

[David Cousens]

Dan

Fairly complete build instructions are given in the wiki
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux. These were written
primarily from Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Debian distros and dwork for GC4.4 on
LinuxMint20/Ubuntu 20.04. The critical step is getting all the dependency
headers and libraries loaded.the first time and these are listed on one of
the breakout pages. The cmake procedure stops with an error if something is
missing so you just install that  and rerun it until it completes without
error.  In most cases you can ignore warnings that come up (e.g. re gettext)
unless they are errors. The instructions given there for dependency
installation can be easily turned into a script and/or just copied and
pasted to the terminal. 

There is little need for a VM just to build an operating version unless you
are working on development and even then it is probably good to keep the
most recent stable version as your operating version and not use a
development version on you primary accounting data files
