[gnome-love] need help setting up build environment



I am having what seems to be a difficult experience setting up an
environment for Gnome 3.  I have received help on the issues I have
posted, but it seems I get a new issue every time I try to build.  I
have read what I've found on live.gnome.org, but I can't help thinking
that I am missing some kind of comprehensive getting started that
would address what I am guessing are standard issues for building with
Ubuntu Lucid as a host system.  Obviously I am missing something, but
how can I find out what without repeatedly wasting time time on failed
builds?

To recap and append my issues to date:
* bootstap failed on gettext - I removed mono from the host system
* gnome-disk-utility, No package 'avahi-ui-gtk3' - my error, I skipped
some modules.
* polkit - error when I skipped above module, not sure of status
* NetworkManager - reported configure error, added to skip, I use wicd
* Then I got an error on previously completed module ORBit.

So, I start over (again):

************************************************
clean config file:
************************************************
moduleset = 'gnome-apps-3.0'
modules = [ 'meta-gnome-core' ]

checkoutroot = os.path.expanduser('~/development/gnome/source')
prefix = os.path.expanduser('~/development/gnome/install')

autogenargs='--disable-static --disable-gtk-doc'

************************************************
clean modules
************************************************
jhbuild clean

************************************************
 re-ran bootstrap/sanity check
************************************************
jhbuild bootstrap --ignore-system
jhbuild sanitycheck (no output=OK)

************************************************
updated all source
************************************************
jhbuild update

And now I am prepared to try again.  Is it recommended to use the
no-network method?

All help really is appreciated.

Thank you,
-Brian
