Currently gnucash always wants gtest to build. And depends on gtest-1.8.0 which is marked unstable now. Can we add 'test' use flag so that we can at least disable testing build so that this dependency can be avoided. I also noticed that it downloads gtest sources instead of using system one it depends on. Might be worth changing this as well.
Created attachment 585498 [details] Suggested 'test' use flag addition to avoid depending on gtest-1.8.0 Here is suggested ebuild changes. It adds 'test' useflag, which allows at least to disable tests and dependencies.
dev-cpp/gtest-1.9.0_pre20190607 is now stable. Please make app-office/gnucash accept newer dev-cpp/gtest than 1.8.0. Preferably use only system version of dev-cpp/gtest and stop downloading dev-cpp/gtest tarball.
