Welcome!

GNOME uses a tool called jhbuild to automate much of the building from source. There's one (of a few) tutorial here https://wiki.gnome.org/GnomeLove/JHBuildIntroduction

Still, you may need to upgrade your distribution to pull in newer versions of some of the dependencies.

Sorry for the brief email, but do ask back if you have questions. Also the gnome-love gnome org and #gnome-love irc channel are geared toward helping newcomers.

Hi, I am trying to build nautilus from source, and following the steps described here https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Nautilus/Development/Nautilus.

While running './autogen.sh', I'm getting the error - "No package 'tracker-sparql-0.16' found".  The version of this package that can be installed via 'apt-get' is 0.14.I am using Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise), Gnome 3.4.2 and Nautilus 3.4.

Do I need to upgrade my distro ?

There's also a question on AskUbuntu regarding this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/247132/where-can-i-find-tracker-sparql-0-16. The links given are not working, and someone even commented that "building 'nautilus' is overkill" ?!

I want to hack on nautilus, so is there any other way of building nautilus, or can anyone please help me how to remove this error ?

Sorry if this is not the mailing list for these types of queries, I had to post it here because I didn't get any response in IRC.

Thanks
