Instructions are still available in the jhbuild documentation itself, https://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/jhbuild-and-gnome.html.en#running-gnome There may be errors and parts could be simplified (GDK_USE_XFT...) but if you're up for it I'd be happy to spend some time with you, during GUADEC?, to get them working on your laptop, then updated online. (survey answer: I run such a jhbuild session and I mostly use "jhbuild make" in the module I'm working on) Fred _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
