The easiest way is to use jhbuild.

But, I'm compiling it on Mandriva 2010.2. I have get all dependencies 
from tarball (atk, cairo, pango, pixman) or git (glib, gtk+3, 
gobject-introspection, libsoup, gtksourceview, gdl, libgda, anjuta) and 
recompile all this from sources.

It takes quite some time, and there is one difficulties with .la file. 
You don't need to recompile some libraries like libOrbit because GLib 
has kept some backward compatibility. The issue is that in the .la file 
in /usr/lib, libOrbit will require the old version of GLib (the one in 
/usr/lib), this old library is linked to your target and conflict with 
the new one.

I have solved this by copying .la file of such libraries from /usr/lib 
to /usr/local/lib and edit them to force using /usr/local/lib when there 
are available (mainly for GLib). It's quite annoying to find every 
dependent library, so I have written a small script to do it that you 
can find here:

Anyway, I think almost everybody else is using jhbuild.
