Re: [gnome-love] feedback on getting started.

Check out the page http://live.gnome.org/JhbuildDependencies , there's 
the list of the packages that are required to compile GNOME, for a good 
amount of distros. What is needed is the name of the packages, that may 
change acording to the distro, which is given by this page.

After that, if one doesn't know how to install a package on its own 
distribution, I think he won't be able to use jhbuild...

Maybe describing "how to know in which package is file foo" may be a 
good idea... What could be done also is instead of just giving the 
dependencies on http://live.gnome.org/JhbuildDependencies , also set a 
shell script that will install all those dependencies, for each distro...

My 2 cents...
