John, David, Frank I wonder at the value of the Build Tools page as a separate orphan entity given the more detailed instructions given in the Building Gnucash page. There is a fairly good example of dupllcation with it and the following for the Gnucash progarm build.
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building and the breakout from it for recent Ubuntu versions https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/BuildUbuntu16.04 The main building page is a massive tome. I did start breaking out some parts of it into smaller logical chunks when I updated the BuildUbuntu16.04 ( which covers 16.04, 18.04 and Linux MInt 18 and 19 in effect.). The Build Tools page may be a logical breakout from there with some of the detail in the first page cut into it. There is also a short summary recipe for building the Docs at the end of the BuildUbuntu16.04 page which lacks detail but does work on Ubuntu and most linux distros. It has no details about the dependencies in it though. Would a page on building the docs be better as a breakout from the main building Gnucash page perhaps with a shared section on the build tools referenced from both. For build instructions I ususaly find the recipe the most useful bit with explantions of the specific tools as breakouts. If you need the information and background you can follow the links. If you only do a build occasionally you follow the recipe. I.e only read the manual when you have to.
