Re: [gnome-db] Building using jhbuild

[Eric Larson <ejl175 psu edu>]

Well, I found that I was able to build it using this.

./configure --without-firebird --without-mysql --prefix=/opt/gnome2
make
make install

Everything worked fine. I now just need to figure out how to get jhbuild
to do the same for me :) If anyone has any tips let me know. 

Thanks!
