I am slowly learning the process of building Gnucash and think I am
getting the hang of it. My last build was Gnucash 4.9 on a fresh
install of Ubuntu 20.04 in a VM (after some help on this mailing list!).
Per the instructions on
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux#System_wide_multiuser_installation_locations
it appears that if I use the command cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt,
the software should install to /opt/gnucash. Every time I build gnucash
4.9, it appears to be installing directly to /opt. If I use
/opt/gnucash as the install prefix, it seems to install to /opt/gnucash.
Is this the normal behavior? Am I misreading the wiki? It seems to
read that during building, if the install prefix is /opt it will install
to /opt/gnuash.
Thanks!
Mike
