I'm sorry that jhbuild gave you troubles. It's supposed to be seamless 
on most distros, and I know there are people who routinely build on 
ArchLinux.

In any case, what prefix did you use?
The Makefile in gjs-documentation by default uses /opt/gnome (which 
used to be the jhbuild default). If that's not the case, call make with 
prefix=...

As for the gir files, they are not included in the repos. They are 
built from the source code by extracting code comments and parsing the 
C headers. So jhbuild is a necessary step anyway to get the girs (which 
now you have in $(prefix)/share/gir-1.0/ )

Cheers,

Giovanni
