[GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible

[Adrien Monteleone]

Aha, thanks John. I wonder how much trouble it would be for a user to 
update their compiler or if that is just a mess for the rest of the 
system. (all else being equal, which I'm sure it isn't)

Regards,
Adrien

Pay particular attention to the C++ standard level supported by the compiler, Boost, Cmake, and GLib. You can't build GnuCash 4.x on Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 because the compilers in those releases don't support C++17 and that's required for GnuCash 4.x and later.
