I think you may have gotten help in the IRC channel already, but for
posterity, I'll add some notes here.

If you're going to build from source on your system, there are two
reasonable ways to go about this.

 - JHBuild (which helps you build all the GNOME dependencies)
 - Flatpak (does the same, but will save you a ton of time over jhbuild)

Otherwise, we have really steep dependencies as we are build in lock-step
with GNOME. Unless your distribution has up-to-date, building Builder
without the dependency tree is Sisyphean.

We are *almost* at the point where you can use the Flatpak version of
Builder to contribute to Builder. The primary thing we need to address to
make that happen is to support "run arguments" when clicking the Run button.
Builder will simply activate the previous instance of Builder unless the
--standalone option is set. We will almost certainly fix this in the
upcoming month(s) as I would like Flatpak to be our preferred method of
hacking on Builder before GUADEC in July/August.

Here are some helpful tricks to get started from the documentation:

  http://builder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#via-jhbuild

And let us know if we can help track anything else down. I'd love to see
more people on Elementary using Builder.
