Unfortunately with how behind Ubuntu is on dependencies, I do agree this is a less than ideal situation. One possibility, if you are fine with the restriction, is to install Builder using Xdg-App. The restriction is currently that you cannot use Builder to build Xdg-App's when run in Xdg-App (because the container technology on Linux does not allow us to be recursive). Additionally, the terminal support in Builder will show you the file-system layout from *inside* the xdg-app (as opposed to your host system). But if both of these implementation details are okay to you, the Xdg-App should work fine. https://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2016/04/15/xdg-app-builds-for-gnome-3-20-are-out/ I just did this to test: wget https://people.gnome.org/~alexl/keys/gnome-sdk.gpg xdg-app remote-add --user --gpg-import=gnome-sdk.gpg gnome http://sdk.gnome.org/repo/ xdg-app --user install gnome org.gnome.Sdk 3.20 xdg-app --user remote-add --gpg-key=gnome-sdk.gpg gnome-apps http://sdk.gnome.org/repo-apps/ xdg-app --user install gnome-apps org.gnome.Builder stable xdg-app run --branch=stable org.gnome.Builder I also noticed that the Xdg-App version of Builder is missing Jedi for python auto-completion. I'll see if we can get that updated for dot releases of 3.20. -- Christian _______________________________________________ Builder-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/builder-list
