JHBuild
If you are trying to build GNOME for the first time using jhbuild, have a look at GnomeLove/BuildGnome. |
JHBuild allows you to automatically download and compile “modules” (i.e. source code packages). Modules are listed in “module set” files, which also include dependency information so that JHBuild can discover what modules need to be built and in what order.
JHBuild was originally written for building GNOME, but has since been extended to be usable with other projects.
