Download: Download the three files for 3.4 from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fV_fURy6c77e7gf6S41lTacM7dFyy7VD Or, Download the three files for 3.5 from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=11gjnSIw9E8B8kOJ01DHQuEA83xidbw8E Those were built on Ubuntu 18.04 for the Trusty distro. However, they both worked on my 18.04 Ubuntu laptop. I suspect that if you already have 3.3 installed, you could get away with isolating the three files into a folder (perhaps they are the only '*gnucash*.deb' files in Downloads: cd to-that-folder sudo apt install ./*gnucash*.deb Build own: I have not built from the tarball. I'm using a git clone so my mileage will be different. I would recommend setting up a git clone so you can always pull the latest set of patches. Also, you can "checkout" earlier versions and compile them locally if you have an itch that needs scratched with one of those. On my box, under $HOME, I build a directory called "Projects" (I have way to many projects in there). Within Projects, I created GnuCash. At that point: cd ~/Projects/GnuCash git clone https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash.git # The above will create a folder "gnucash" within "GnuCash". Then build a separate build area within GnuCash: makedir GnCBuild cd gnucash git checkout 3.5 cd ../GnCBuild cmake --yourflags ../gnucash make sudo make install # Note that GnCBuild and gnucash are both sub-folders inside GnuCash folder. -- Stephen M Butler, PMP, PSM stephen.m.butle...@gmail.com kg...@arrl.net 253-350-0166 ------------------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 8A25 9726 D439 758D D846 E5D4 282A 5477 0385 81D8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
