Hi Colin I upgraded my operating system to a newer version of ubuntu. Now I'm on DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS"
Tried following the build instructions and got different errors. Couldn't find any help on building. Searched through gnucash wiki and found https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Debian. Tried to follow the instrucions here but the links to getdeb are all dead. I still need to install a recent version of gnucash on ubuntu 18.04 lts please help -- Nathan T Alexander n...@nathanalexander.net On Fri, May 17, 2019, at 7:13 AM, Nathan T Alexander wrote: > OK I tried compiling it myself. > > I downloaded the tarball and unzipped it into a /usr/loca/src/build-gnucash: > > Then I tried to follow the instructions here: > https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux , so I ran: > > n@g:/usr/local/src/build-gnucash-3.5$ sudo cmake > -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local > -- Checking for module 'glib-2.0>=2.40' > -- > CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:367 > (message): > A required package was not found > Call Stack (most recent call first): > /usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:532 > (_pkg_check_modules_internal) > common/cmake_modules/GncFindPkgConfig.cmake:253 (PKG_CHECK_MODULES) > CMakeLists.txt:194 (gnc_pkg_check_modules) > > > -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! > See also "/usr/local/src/build-gnucash-3.5/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log". > n@g:/usr/local/src/build-gnucash-3.5$ > > > Now I am stuck, how do a learn to read the output of these messages, it > is not clear what I am supposed to do?
