Thanks for the explanation, David. I think I may have been a bit over-zealous
in my sudo use at the first stages of the procedure; that is perhaps what
caused the permissions issue when I did not 'sudo' later on.
I also run Gnucash inside Debian Buster virtual machines on both my Mac and
Windows machines (as well as the native apps), so at some stage I will have
to repeat this build operation there. When I do, I will try and be more
careful about my sudo use and see if I can build without problems; I'll
report back in due course. Now I know a bit more about how it should go, I
would also like to see how much can be done without resort to
buster-backports. Because these are virtual machines, which I can clone
(backup) before I start, it will be a bit easier to experiment with.
Buster has been out more than six months now and I may be ready soon for an
upgrade to Bullseye ('testing' in Debian) soon. By then v3.8 may have
reached the repository with a bit of luck.
A big thank you to whoever updated the 'Building on Linux' wiki
documentation, which was much improved over the last time I tried to build
Gnucash myself.
