Thanks John, this gave me the opportunity to dive in jhbuild mechanism (no so deep though ;-)

I've got the error:
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./html/up.png
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/xnadalib-2018/bin/gtkdoc-rebase", line 28, in <module>
    from gtkdoc import common, config, rebase
  File "/usr/local/xnadalib-2018/share/gtk-doc/python/gtkdoc/common.py", line 31, in <module>
    import six
ImportError: No module named six
*** Error during phase install of glib: ########## Error running make 
DESTDIR=/usr/local/xnadalib-2018/_jhbuild/root-glib install *** [4/28]

I fixed it with:
$ easy_install -a -d $HOME/Source/jhbuild/jhbuild/sitecustomize six

Then:
*** Installing gtk-osx-docbook *** [21/24]
make DESTDIR=/usr/local/xnadalib-2018/_jhbuild/root-gtk-osx-docbook install
./install.sh
sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence
sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence

I didn't fix them, but, they didn't seem to be critical.

Then:
*** Checking out gtk-engines *** [17/18]
curl --continue-at - -L http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gtk-engines/2.20/gtk-engines-2.20.2.tar.bz2 -o

*** Error during phase configure of gtk-engines: ########## Error running ./configure --prefix

I haven't found a fix.

Have you an idea?

Thanks, Pascal.
