Direct url: > This step is not needed. gnucash can be built perfectly fine with the msys-perl version that gets installed automatically via install.sh. This is so since I bumped the version to 5.8.x. It's ancient, I know, but sufficient for the needs of building gnucash.

Each extra manual step raises the barrier again.
