Don't mix modulesets, either: The dependency chains aren't interchangeable, though bootstrap.modules, invoked by `jhbuild bootstrap`, is special and installed in ~/Source/jhbuild/modulesets; there's only one of it. For example, to save some typing, you can create a .jhbuildrc-custom containing the following lines:

Each time it stopped during building of freetype saying that there was no target for " install".  I told it to ignore that... recalling that freetype was not even needed.  It went on to build fontconfig... something else that I thought was not needed.  Then it choked on atk (not atkmm).  Anyway... I have had some other hardware problems that are taking all of my time so I am not sure when I will get back to it. Perhaps I can try your more recent upgrade to the packages when I get a chance.

*Please* remember to CC the list!

If freedesktop is stopping then you're building stable, from tarballs. That means you're not following my instructions.

Sorry to hear about your hardware issues, that's a real PITA. Hope you can get them resolved quickly.
