Re: GNOME Games Vala/GTK+/GLib dependencies

Hi Sophia,

To use the system installed clutter you can simply uninstall the
jhbuild version:
jhbuild uninstall clutter

I usually only build any specific modules that needs to be upgraded. I
do that with the buildone command:
jhbuild buildone gnome-games
