Re: [gnome-love] Help building Gnome 3 on Debian Squeeze

[Scott Parker <scottp sk8 gmail com>]

Okay I've run into an issue when compiling nss. The error is as follows:

drbg.c: In function ‘RNG_RandomUpdate’:
drbg.c:510: error: size of array ‘arg’ is negative
drbg.c:513: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type

Yes, I compiled. It was not trivial but I did it. You can check my blog (http://mbalmeida.wordpress.com)  to find some workarounds.

I have been trying to build the latest Gnome 3 on Debian Squeeze following the requirements at http://live.gnome.org/JhbuildDependencies/Debian. I have tried several different approaches i.e bootstrapping / not bootstrapping, and the options to add to the jhbuildrc in response to the "Usual Problems" provided at the same link, but to no avail.

Here is my current .jhbuildrc:

# -*- mode: python -*-

# if you have a GNOME git account, uncomment this line
# repos['git.gnome.org'] = 'ssh://user git gnome org/git/'

moduleset = 'gnome-apps-3.2'
modules = [ 'meta-gnome-core', 'meta-gnome-apps-tested' ]

checkoutroot = os.path.expanduser('~/checkout/gnome')
prefix = '/opt/gnome'

os.environ['LDFLAGS'] = "-L" + prefix + "/lib"
autogenargs='--disable-static --disable-gtk-doc'
module_autogenargs['hal'] = '--with-hal-user=hal --with-hal-group=hal'

Has anyone successfully built the current Gnome 3 on Squeeze and if so could you provide the steps necessary to do so. I would really like to get involved in contributing to Gnome but cannot seem to get the development environment setup.
