your failures are of no consequence about the goodness of a tool -
unless you obviously circumstantiate those failures with actual bug
reports.

I commonly use jhbuild for projects in and outsite the platform, and
I've been doing so in the past few years; so I fully support the
original reply: jhbuild is the correct way to develop with checkouts of
gtk+, and in general the whole GNOME platform, without screwing up your
machine.
