Hi there,
starting with an Ubuntu 16.04 installation from scratch, this is what I
did to make GnuCash 2.8 build with autotools:
Nice!
autogen.sh:
===========
sudo apt-get install intltool
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake autotools-dev libsigsegv2 m4
sudo apt-get install libtool libltdl-dev
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
configure
=========
sudo apt-get install icu-devtools libicu-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install guile-2.0 guile-2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install swig2.0
sudo apt-get install libxml++2.6-dev
sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev
sudo apt-get install xsltproc
sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev
sudo apt-get install google-mock
sudo apt-get install gtk+3.0
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt-get install webkit2gtk-3.0 # >600MB !
A few questions/remarks:
* Which packet pulls in the dev package for webkit2gtk ?
* I don't know whether this is also on Ubuntu, though on Fedora if you install
libgtk-3.dev, that will automatically pull in gtk+3.0 (using the Ubuntu
package names here)
* I'd condense this to one or two apt-get commands rather than the long list
of separate commands.
* Does listing this under separate build steps (autogen.sh vs configure) add
anything useful or could you just call it install system prerequisites or
something like that ?
make (xml backend)
=============
mkdir build-master
cd build-master
../gnucash/autogen.sh
I didn't know you could call autogen.sh out of tree. If you can, so much the
better. It will however still create files in the source directory. So it may
be better to call this directly in the source directory to make this more
clear. I'm not sure about which way is best.
../gnucash/configure --prefix=<path>/gnucash-master
--enable-compile-warnings --disable-error-on-warning --disable-dbi
make
sudo make install
If this looks ok to you I would put it onto the Wikipage 1:1 as a
starting point.
It's certainly a good starting point. I would definitely also illustrate how
to build with dbi enabled (many people want this) and which additional
dependencies this has.
And considering you wrote this for 2.8 I would consider using cmake instead of
autotools. It's very likely we will drop the latter as soon as we're sure our
cmake configuration does everything autotools does until now. The biggest
roadblock to this has recently been solved (running cmake on Ubuntu 14.04LTS)
so I was about to propose again to drop autotools.

I have put the autogen/configure information just into this mail to let
you know a bit more about where the dependencies are needed, not knowing
if this is useful information. I skip it for the Wiki Entry.
I find separate more interesting if you are curious how the single
installations work especially with respect to installation duration - as
I define myself as an average self-building user I keep it that way :-)
Feel free to overwrite.
