The strong suggestion for newcomers to the G* platform is to start
from this page on the GNOME wiki:

  https://wiki.gnome.org/Newcomers

and to use jhbuild, which is a tool that sets up a development
environment without disturbing your OS; downloads and builds the
required dependencies for various modules in the GNOME platform; and
lets you work and build your own code inside the environment it
creates.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
