[GNC] Building Gnucash on Fedora 37 - "No package 'glib-2.0' found" error

[Geert Janssens]

Hi,

A late reply...

I'm on Fedora 37 as well, but can't reproduce the error.

I'm currently building the current stable branch though, not 4.13. Where does your 
gnucash-4.13 come from ? Is that a release tarball, or a git checkout ?

Regards,

Geert
