When I'm stuck I usually go to Slackbuilds.org and see how they have build there script to install the source code.
Here is a link to for gnucash.
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.2/business/gnucash/This is the contents of thier readme file...
GNUCash is opensource accounting software.
This requires the following additional software, and it is suggested
that you build them in this order:
slib libofx ORbit2 GConf libtasn1 gnome-keyring gnome-mime-data libbonobo
gnome-vfs gail libgnomecanvas libgnome libbonoboui libgnomeui libgnomecups
libgnomeprint libgnomeprintui gtkhtml goffice
aqbanking is optional, but it's not available at SlackBuilds.org.
This is how they ran ./configure...
./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--libdir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--infodir=/usr/info \
--mandir=/usr/man \
--docdir=/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION \
--enable-ofx \
--disable-aqbanking \
--disable-sql \
--disable-static \
--build=$ARCH-slackware-linux
make
make install DESTDIR=$PKGThis is the slackbuild itself...
