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.

As for building from modulesets-stable... yes indeed, that is what I did as that is what you put in your 'verbatim' instructions.  I wondered about that.  If I ever get things organized here... I will try again.

Sorry, you're right. I did say to build stable, from scratch. But under stable, Freetype and FontConfig *were* required to build Pango, so by ignoring the install error (which was really a failure to run configure), Pango would fail to build.

With the updated stable modulesets, Freetype and friends (now includes Harfbuzz) build only if a later module has a dependency on PangoFc. The only one I'm aware of at this point is WebKit. Not only that, but I've added skip-autogen="never" to Freetype' module description and that seems to stop it skipping configure.

So, when you get your machine sorted out, try again.
