Hi Les, The Linux Mint Software manager version is usually 1-2 releases behind the latest release of Gnucash. getDeb is sometimes a bit more up to date. Unless there are specific features/fixes in the latest release that you need then 2.6.17 which is the current LM version should be OK.
If not, it is not too hard to build on Linux Mint using the instructions at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building#Ubuntu_16.04_LTS_.28Xenial_Xerus.29. If you aren't familiar with cmake use the Autotools build. I usually run ..gnucash/configure setting the --prefix option to /usr/local/bin rather than /opt/gnucash or /opt/gnucash-devel until it reports no errors, installing any packages it reports it needs as errors that are not already installed. There is a list of dependencies in the README.dependencies files and most can be installed directly with apt before running the ..gnucash/configure. ----- David Cousens -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
