Are you using something like "jhbuild buildone gnome-shell"? This won't work, as you also need all of gnome-shell's dependencies - at least the mutter requirement is almost guaranteed to be newer than what your distribution provides.

 

​Yes, I was using jhbuild buildone gnome shell. But every time it was showing an error during configuration, I was installing the required package. I got the error for mutter during configuration so I did jhbuild buildone mutter and it was resolved.

 

Running "jhbuild build gnome-shell" should compile all dependencies of gnome-shell and gnome-shell itself.

​After discussing this on irc, I was suggested to install 15.04 and build on it since some of my system dependencies will be too old for building this (like systemd). So, I am installing ubuntu 15.04.​

​Thanks,
