Re: [gnome-love] About the jhbuild gtk+-3

[Miao Yu <will yu aol com>]

Hi:

For the libicu, when I used 12.04 to build libgdata until it crashed, I found the same headache. Actually it is bug and it has been fix after 4.8.1.1-10. And this package can be found in ppa: libreoffice. 

There is another error I get when I tried jhbuild sysdeps --install:

python2-devel (python2.pc, required=2.5)

I have installed python2.7-dev and I checked the properties, a file called python2.7.pc was installed. Do you know how can I fix this?

Best,

William Yu

Yes, you can.  Building gtk+3 from jhbuild should be straightforward.

I would try:

$ jhbuild sanitycheck    (to check if everything is fine)
$ jhbuild sysdeps --install    (just to be sure)
$ jhbuild build --distclean --ignore-suggests -af gtk+

The last command will instruct jhbuild to clean and rebuild every module
up to gtk+.  Also, it will build only the required modules.

Good luck.
