First of all, Impish is already EOL. You will need to use a flavor of 22.04 LTS for the following. The documentation for how to build GnuCash is confusing and not all in one place. The following begins with a fresh install of Lubuntu 22.04 LTS. I use Vagrant so that everything is deterministically built once I have finished figuring out the correct set of steps. But, Vagrant is not a requirement; you don't have to use that. The patch used below is the following. Put it in your /tmp directory before starting. https://pastebin.com/qUmxyyLq
sudo patch /etc/apt/sources.list /tmp/sources_list.patch sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash mkdir ~/opt wget https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/4.11/gnucash-4.11.tar.gz mkdir build-gnucash-4.11 tar -zxvf gnucash-4.11.tar.gz cd build-gnucash-4.11/ cmake -DWITH_PYTHON=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/opt ../gnucash-4.11 make make install I hope this helps.
