Hello Aman,

no offence, but in my opinion your efforts to build an ancient GNOME
version are rather futile, given your intention of developing for GNOME.
I'd say you should stick with at least with the current stable GNOME
version, i.e. 2.28, or the development version to be on the bleeding
edge.
If you are going for some serious GNOME development and you have
problems with git, you should solve those first. Some git mailing list
or forum is a better place for that than this mailing list.


If you want to avoid git you need to build from release source tarballs
(compressed archives). jhbuild can do that. The GNOME release team
publishes modulesets for jhbuild pointing to module tarballs for each
GNOME release, they are available from
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/releng/$VERSION/*.modules

For the stable GNOME, use
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/releng/2.28.2/

There is an example .jhbuildrc in there
