Running Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon on this box, and need some help -
Playing with Gnucash 3.4, and from the page at
[URL="http://https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux"]https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux[/URL]
I'm confused by these instructions and commands:
Open a shell and change directory to the directory into which you
extracted the GnuCash sources (gnucash-3.4) or cloned the github
repository (gnucash), i.e. the parent directory of gnucash-3.4 or gnucash.
Build using Cmake and Make
mkdir build-gnucash-3.4 # create the build directory - Note: Named to
identify the source since it is not within the source directory.
cd build-gnucash-3.4 # change into the build directory
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/.local ../gnucash-3.4 # As shown this will
install in the .local directory in /home/<user>.
make # builds the program and associated libraries
make install # prefix with sudo if you do install to /usr/local or /opt
as admin privileges are required.
Cuz that gets an error that confuses me even more:
[CODE]@MainBox /mnt/sdb4/Applications/gnucash-3.4/build-gnucash-3.4 $
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/.local ../gnucash-3.4
CMake Error: The source directory
"/mnt/sdb4/Applications/gnucash-3.4/gnucash-3.4" does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.[CODE]
It says there's supposed to be another directory level called "gnucash-3.4"
If I create that"missing" directory, I just get a longer error:
[CODE]@MainBox
/mnt/sdb4/Applications/gnucash-3.4/gnucash-3.4/build-gnucash-3.4 $ cmake
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/.local
../gnucash-3.4
CMake Error: The source directory
"/mnt/sdb4/Applications/gnucash-3.4/gnucash-3.4/gnucash-3.4" does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.[/CODE]
Now there's 2 levels missing.
I don't know enough about scripting yet; what am I not getting right here?
Thanks
