Can't build: error during build phase of mutter

[Ross Smith <myxiplx googlemail com>]

Hi folks,

I've done a quick google, but although I can find the error, I can't
find any mention of a solution or workaround.  Can anybody suggest
what I could do to get gnome-shell working.

I tried running "jhbuild build -a -c", but it ends with this error:

make[4]: *** No rule to make target
`compositor/mutter/mutter-module.c', needed by `mutter-module.o'.
Stop.
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/ross/gnome-shell/source/mutter/src'
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/ross/gnome-shell/source/mutter/src'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2

thanks,

Ross
