Hi
I am trying to follow the instructions at
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell#building. So far, I have been able to
get the jhbuild environment (hope that is what it is ...).
When I run: jhbuild build, It starts to clone git.gnome.org starting
with glib but it never passes that. I get an EOF error and the process
repeats. Here is an example:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
jhbuild build
*** Checking out glib *** [1/33]
git clone git://git.gnome.org/glib
Cloning into glib...
remote: Counting objects: 87567, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (14913/14913), done.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly05 MiB | 7 KiB/s
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed
*** Error during phase checkout of glib: ########## Error running git
clone git://git.gnome.org/glib *** [1/33]
[1] Rerun phase checkout
[2] Ignore error and continue to configure
[3] Give up on module
[4] Start shell
[5] Reload configuration
[6] Go to phase "wipe directory and start over"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I suspect a network problem ... something I experience consistently with
my internet providers. I'm wondering if there is another way to get the
needed files for building Gnome-shell ... something like a bz2 or tar
archive of the current snapshot. It would be easier using wget to pull
one archive since it can resume after a network reset.
It will gladden my heart to join the Gnome-shell testers and report bugs
as necessary.
Regards
Oku, C
