build-essential (no s on the end). I also had to add 'equivs' I was doing this in the schroot -c source:bionic-amd64 -u root. So didn't need (couldn't use) sudo. > $ sudo apt build-dep gnucash I also had to do mk-build-deps -ir debian/control from my gnucash folder.

So, I can create the packages for Disco (but not in schroot for Disco). If others can do that for Bionic, then I'll focus my attention elsewhere. > <<snip>> --Steve _______________________________________________ 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.
