Re: [gnome-love] Problem building gtk+ using jhbuild

[Eejya Singh <singh eejya gmail com>]

I tried git fetch in the ~/jhbuild/checkout/gtk+ directory but it still gets stuck. I have already tried downloading gtk+ around 4-5 times both manually and using jhbuild. Is there some other method (faster) that would help? Thanks for replying :)

I'm able to clone the gtk+ module, but I've had problems in the past
where git.gnome.org has been extremely slow for me at times.

Can you clone the repository manually?
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gtk+

Do you get any specific error messages, either from git or from jhbuild?
