David It is not really all that difficult to build a version from scratch if you are on Linux. I'm on Linux Mint and the distro package version is often behind the current stable.
There are a few little twists with setting up googletest and the move from Autotools configure to CMake for the build. There are a lot of references to those on the Gnucash-Dev list in some of my posts and others along with John and Geert's responses. The wiki page on building with Ubuntu https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building#Ubuntu_16.04_LTS_.28Xenial_Xerus.29 and the Wiki page on CMake https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/CMake ( here Cmake is described as experimental but it is now the preferred build route. I am going to try and review the ubuntu build page in the light of my experience building v3.0 over the last week so that some of the issues I encountered are addressed if the wiki maintainers agree agree.
