I just pushed a commit to fix them. With that in place, the build will default to $HOME/gnucash with subdirectories src, build, and inst, the latter being short for install. You can override that by setting PREFIX in the environment, e.g. PREFIX=$HOME/mygnucashbuild/ and jhbuild will create the subdirectories. > > I've updated the wiki page to reflect the current layout. Thank you, John! Those changes to gnucash-on-osx/jhbuild-custom seem to have been effective. The build process is now busily filling my screen with build chatter. I found what looks like a very low-severity typo in a message which jhbuild-custom prints to stdout. I propose a correction with <https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-osx/pull/22> . I think it is not urgent.
