Indeed, 2.6.12 is early enough that CMakeLists.txt wasn’t distributed in the tarball though it’s available if you clone the git repository. I don’t remember if we’d tested it enough at that point to be able to reliably build so you’re much better off using configure.
Having gtk+-2.0 isn’t enough to build with, you need gtk+-2.0-dev which includes the headers. The easy way to get all of the dependencies install is sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash as stated in https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_heard_it_is_too_hard_to_compile_GnuCash.21 <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_heard_it_is_too_hard_to_compile_GnuCash.21>. That trick doesn’t quite work for GnuCash3 on Debian/Ubuntu unless you’re running Sid (aka unstable), but it works fine on GnuCash2.
