Re: gnome-shell jhbuild error during clutter

["Jasper St. Pierre" <jstpierre mecheye net>]

After prodding ebassi, he found the real fix: json-glib didn't specify gio-2.0 in its pkg-config dependencies! A fix has been committed to json-glib, and he just released json-glib-0.12.4. Thanks for finding and providing the missing link!

I figured out the issue was that gio is not included explicitly by the
Clutter confgure.ac so it will pick it up in your system directory
when linking the tests. Using the below change to clutter/configure.ac
I was able to get Clutter built and installed without skipping any
other modules.
