From https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building#CMake: " • There is a subdirectory named gnucash inside the source directory. Make sure that you don't pass that directory as source directory to cmake." You passed that directory to cmake. The problem with /glib arises because cmake is trying to start with the wrong CMakeLists.txt. Please study https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building#CMake until you understand it.
