Re: [gnome-love] Newbie build GNOME 2.12 with JHBUILD from GNOME CVS

[Elijah Newren <newren gmail com>]

Hi,

Welcome to Gnome, glad you're joining.  One thing you'll want to be
aware of, though, is that you absolutely should not cc so many lists. 
Be very careful when cc'ing multiple lists as it is usually incorrect
and often considered rude when so; you're just a newbie so you'll be
given slack, but please take note for future reference.  Also, it's
good to find out the purpose of a list before emailing it, see
http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/.  In particular, your email is
off-topic for all those lists except gnome-love.

Answers below, but for anyone that replies, please pull off all
mailing lists except gnome-love in the cc...

Everyone gets those warnings.  Ignore them.  Experts with sufficient
knowledge of autofoo wizardry will eventually fix them for us.  At
least, that's what I do and assume, and it works for me.

same as above--just ignore them, it doesn't hurt.

That's odd...why don't you have gawk installed?

again, ignore these warnings.

You need to get libXrandr.so installed.  On Fedora/RedHat the package
that provides this is xorg-x11-devel (xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.13.6
on the particular machine I'm on at the moment).  The debian package
name will probably be a little different.

These look like you ought to have the right stuff; what files do these
packages provide?
