If you are in the US (and much of the world,) you have a choice. As
you have done in the past, you can use Aqbanking for OFX direct
connect. However, you can also use libofx, which is already included
in the KMM source. To do that, you would enable OFXIMPORTER at cmake
time, and you can disable KBANKING so it doesn't bother to look for
aqbanking or gwenhywfar. That's what I use for banking, investment,
and credit cards.

There are some banking systems, notably in Germany/EU, which use
features not handled by libofx, and thus those do require to enable
KBANKING, and use aqbanking and gwenhywfar.
If you are not aware, once you have done the initial cmake, then if you
run "ccmake ." in the build directory, you can see (and adjust) all the
ENABLE_ settings, and turn OFF those you don't need.

My guess is that you do not have sqlcipher installed, but you would
only need it if you wanted to save your KMM data as an encrypted sqlite
file. You can disable SQLCIPHER (and even SQLSTORAGE) to stop it from
looking for those files.

In general, distributions should have the necessary dependencies
available as packages. However, some distributions (especially some
LTS versions) lag a bit. If you are compiling from git head (either
master or 5.0,) and especially if recent commits to KMM are using brand
new features in those other libraries, then it does often become
necessary for you to download and compile them yourself.
