Not sure if any of this is related or not to unsuccessful builds. Side note:
your shell runs and completes but; now I'll be flipped if I can find where it
puts the executable now. Directory /opt is empty.
If it built and you used the defaults in the script, then it will be
in ~/Documents/gnucash/build/bin. Change to that directory and try
running it from there:
cd ~/Documents/gnucash/build/bin
./gnucash
If that works, but it isn't in /opt/ then change to the build
directory and run make install:
cd ~/Documents/gnucash/build/
sudo make install

No joy. Your first option gives me a list of errors longer than my leg
before crashing. The second ends with:
CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:41 (file):
file INSTALL cannot set permissions on
"/opt/gnucash/share/doc/gnucash/AUTHORS": Operation not permitted.
If I run it (in opt), then I get a whole list of errors before it
decides to run version 4.8, not 4.9. And automatically opens a set of
books that I have not updated for several months, and I am damn sure not
going to let it touch it with all of the errors it is generating.
Somewhere I am making a beginners mistake. It cannot be this hard to
make a working version. Especially with all of the guidance you all
have provided me.
At this time I think it would be wise for me to remove every GNC file I
can find and start over. But it is beginning to look like a clean start
means waiting until tax season is over. The IRS and the state
department of revenue wait for no one without penalties.
One way or another I am going to build a working version from source. I
love programming, and chasing down gremlins to much. Who knows, once I
get the chance I might even offer some code of my own. The QIF import
needs a little tweaking for the novice, it doesn't differentiate debits
from credits on import, makes it a problem on import.
