I find jhbuild useful in these situations[1]. Specifically the buildone
command. You still have to have the dependencies installed properly with
buildone, but it stops jhbuild trying to build all the dependencies from
scratch.

In this case something like:
jhbuild buildone gnome-common
jhbuild buildone gnome-games

might be enough to get it all compiling (after you've followed all the
instructions at the link below, up to the 'jhbuild sanitycheck' command).

jhbuild is a little intimidating at first, but saves a lot of hassle later.

'jhbuild run' is also nice for keeping your test and day-to-day
environments separate.

Compiling jhbuild itself failed when I followed the steps given in the above link. I got the same error I have pasted in the above mail i.e the error related to M4. I think I should set the path for aclocals of gnome-common. If thats done I think I can build the code with any of the above 2 procedures. So if one of u can help me setting up the path for M4 it would be of great help. Plz help me
