JHBuild looks for patches in (this list is not exhaustive): modulesets_dir/patches modulesets_dir/../patches PKGDATADIR/patches SRCDIR/patches May be try setting modulesets_dir in ~/.jhbuildrc? > What is the recommended method to build and install gnome on a system? > It seems that jhbuild is intended for a parallel implementation, > rather than installing to /usr or /bin [1]. It is recommended *not* to install JHBuild GNOME in /usr. Install JHBuild GNOME to /opt/gnome. Then setup JHBuild GNOME to run as default from the display manager [1] and your users will be none the wiser. -- Craig Keogh <[email protected]> [1] See section 3.3.3 http://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/jhbuild-and-gnome.html.en _______________________________________________ gnome-love mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-love
