[GNC] Building 5.0 on Ubuntu 18.04

[Tom Weichmann]

Hi All,

I'm still running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS which is still supported by Ubuntu
albeit a bit old.  I've been happily building all of the 4.x versions from
source since the latest is not in this distro's repositories.  Now i'm
trying to build version 5,0 and I'm running into a failure with cmake:

----------------------------------------

I've checked all of the required deps in the README.dependencies and
believe I have them all.  I've googled around and I don't see any answers.
Has anyone else run into a similar error building on other platforms?
