See https://mail.gnome.org/archives/meld-list/2013-November/msg00011.html

This is just temporary breakage while the GSettings stuff comes
together. If you'd rather not worry about it, you can checkout
sometime from the previous week and you should be fine (minus some
recent fixes).

The build system is on the roadmap, but it's hopefully (mostly)
done... at least until someone comes up with extra requests for it. We
don't support a lot of installation folder customisation, but
distutils does *not* make that easy for us.

cheers,
