After a few hours of false starts, I managed to build GnuCash 3.0 on my Ubuntu 14.0.4 system.
I had to use this command line: cmake -D ALLOW_OLD_GETTEXT=ON -D GTEST_ROOT=~/src/gtest/googletest -D GMOCK_ROOT=~/src/gtest/googlemock ~/src/gnucash The ALLOW_OLD_GETTEXT was necessary because I only had an earlier version of gettext and could find no way to install the required version without compiling it too and I didn't want to enter that path. What negative features will result from doing this, and is it avoidable under this environment? I haven't tried installing it yet. Will it be necessary to uninstall the old one first, and what happens to my datafiles if I do that. In other words, what's the upgrade path here?
