Nevermind. I just re-started it and it runs perfectly now. Props to the GNOME Shell team for working so hard :D!

Tried that and it compiled perfectly! Thank you so much! However, when I run the Shell, I get this after a few seconds:

$ gnome-shell/install/bin/gnome-shell --replace
do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try adjusting the vblank_mode configuration parameter.

Hi there,

This is a combination of
(1) gcc 4.5 being overly pedantic and warning about legitimate code
(2) CFLAGS containing -Werror to treat warnings as errors

The easiest "fix" is to drop to the console (it's "4" in jhbuild, ain't
it?) and resume the build with "make CFLAGS=-Wno-error" - it should
finish successfully, so you can exit the console and resume jhbuild.

Yup, bleeding edge can be painful ;)

You may decide to overwrite -Werror permanently for json-glib by adding
the following to your .jhbuildrc-custom:

module_makeargs['json-glib'] = 'CFLAGS=-Wno-error'

... but if you just skipped json-glib there's a dependency missing.

Possibly you need to update jhbuild - assuming that you setup the build
system with the gnome-shell-build-setup.sh script (you did, right?),
just re-run the script.

Hope that gets you running!
