We're severely behind in cleaning out deprecated Gtk code so anything from
around 3.10 should work OK. Glade is another matter, Bob Fewell keeps
regenerating the Glade files with new versions. I avoid the problem by using
emacs on glade files, but otherwise you need to keep up to date. Maybe Bob can
jump in with some more advice.
The part of GnuCash that you're interested in is single-threaded. Guile and
WebKit fire off some threads for their own nefarious purposes but you can
ignore them.
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug doesn't turn off optimization, you need to add -O0 or
-O1 to CMAKE_CPP_FLAGS if you need to have all of your locals and args
populated and your code to step linearly.
We have an IRC channel, see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/IRC, with some of the
core team usually present.
