Jim,
Sorry.
There were a couple of mistakes in gnucash-on-osx/jhbuild-custom. I just pushed
a commit to fix them. With that in place, the build will default to
$HOME/gnucash with subdirectories src, build, and inst, the latter being short
for install. You can override that by setting PREFIX in the environment, e.g.
PREFIX=$HOME/mygnucashbuild/ and jhbuild will create the subdirectories.
I've updated the wiki page to reflect the current layout.
Regards,
John Ralls
