Hi Roland, I'm not interested in adding another build script, but FYI, building Glade and it's dependencies is of course one of the steps involved in packaging a distro-agnostic bundle, which is documented here:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/glade/tree/build/linux/README Using some hints from there, you should be able to build Glade and it's dependencies safely into a relocated prefix using a variation of this command: BUNDLE_ROOT=~/GladeBundle BUNDLE_DIR=${GLADE_CHECKOUT}/build/linux jhbuild -f ${GLADE_CHECKOUT}/build/linux/jhbuildrc build Building Glade and it's stack should just be a matter of running jhbuild with our own moduleset... the moduleset prefers tarballs to git repository so to build newer versions you may have to modify the moduleset. In any case what we have in tree is just a bit more sophisticated version of your script, where we offload much of the grunt work to the jbuild scripts and just define a moduleset (which is why I would be opposed to adding yet another build script).
