Hi Ignacio, thank you for your answer. I am trying and trying, but I still don't make it right.
I installed jhbuild, followed all instructions and finally was able to install libgit2-glib by using jhbuild. But still I cannot build gitg. At first I got the same error as before. So I tried adjustign PKG_CONFIG_PATH as recommended. I did this by typing PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/nore/jhbuild/install/lib/pkgconfig/ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH Now I get the error, that packages libpeas-1.0, libpeas-gtk-1.0 and gtkspell3-3.0 are not found. I tried to add /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ to PKG_CONFIG_PATH by typing PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH but I still get the same error. Do you have any suggestions or could you explain a little more detailed how I can get this to work? Thanks a lot.
