Re: [gnome-love] Setting up a development environment



No shame! We all can't read sometimes :)

Perhaps the page can be cleaned up to be more clear...

I did see the JHBuild tool but wasn't really sure how it worked. Now
that you guys pointed it out, I read the entire page again and realized
that I missed this paragraph in the first time:

"/JHBuild enables you to run Gnome in a sandbox environment and doesn't
install it globally on your system, _so there is no need to run Gnome
inside a virtual machine._/"

Shame on me! Shame on me! :-)

Thanks, guys!

    Thanks for your interest in contributing to GNOME!

    I only have time right now for a brief reply, but "developing without
    messing up current installation" is the whole point of GNOME's
    jhbuild tool.

    Here's a short tutorial on how to get started using it.

    Please don't hesitate to ask for help if you come across any issues.
