See my other reply about versions and database support. I've been using
SQlite3 since the 2.6.x days.
The build instructions on the wiki are very good. The most time will be
spent reading and making sure you have the build environment and
dependencies. If you get that right, the actual build is fairly quick
and painless.

I am running GnuCash 3.8 Build ID: 3.8b+(2019-12-29) on [x]ubuntu 20.04.
I have started keeping a small PCC accounts with this but decided I
wanted to move to storing the data in sqlite rather than the default
XML.
It doesn't seem to be possible, if I click on SaveAs in the File menu
the only Data Format I'm offered is XML.
Is this because sqlite storage is a compile time option that hasn't
been included in the Ubuntu build, or is there something else I need
to do?
Ah! I've just seen that sqlite is only supported from version 4.2 and
I'm on version 3.8, so that explains it!
Does anyone have any experience of getting GnuCash >4.2 working on
[x]Ubuntu? Is it easy to compile/build? (I do have a fair amount of
experience, I used to build my own Linux kernels etc.)
