You might want to check:

I think that I didn't explain very well my situation. It isn't a jhbuild issue. I have already built successfully the module and  it's working, but what I want to create needs 2 more libraries, librest and libgoa and I don't know what should I change in configure or in makefile so I can include those libraries and to be linked correctly.

I am currently getting this error "fatal error: goa/goa.h: No such file or directory" because, the compiler doesn't know where to look for those libraries until I don't specify it in the Makefile, I suppose.
