Thanks for the information and advice,
I am not so confident as the list of dependencies in the wiki are from
17.xx and I'm running Linux Mint 19.3 (Ubuntu 18.4 base). Also the required
dependencies list on darktable don't line up with the required and optional
dependencies listed.
I think I'll stick with 2.6.x until a binary is available as I don't have
time to fiddle and learn if the build doesn't work.
I will try building - as you suggest - in a VM, when I have more time.
Happy New Year
