Re: [Evolution-hackers] Building Evolution

[Manu Gupta <manugupt1 gmail com>]

I am sorry for extending this thread, I am attaching the jhbuildrc which
I made 

and I get this error
checking for SCANNER... yes
checking for FFI... no
checking for ffi.h... configure: error: ffi.h not found

In the configure phase of gobject-introspection.
What should I do?

Please see if my .jhbuildrc is correct / am I missing something.
