Pascal,

I don't know where the LANG warning is coming from. It's not gtk-osx or jhbuild. FWIW macOS usually sets it 
and the LC_* variables from defaults so maybe you're unsetting it somewhere?

I don't understand the question about Rust. Do you already have Rust installed and gtk-osx-setup.sh isn't 
detecting it? If so are CARGO_HOME and RUSTUP_HOME correctly defined in your environment?

You can see all of the default paths easily with `grep envvar gtk-osx-setup.sh`. You'll want to set DEVPREFIX 
and PYTHONUSERBASE to $DEVROOT/.local.
