No way ... the closest working thing I could do was following this page instead: https://mohan43u.wordpress.com/2015/01/17/setup-gnome-development-environment-in-archlinux/
However, there is some module that **wants** Python 3, like the shell, and some other that wants libvala0-30 that doesn't exist neither in official repository nor AUR ``` Making install in vala-pack make[2]: Entering directory '/home/webreflection/Devel/gnome/checkout/gnome-builder/plugins/vala-pack' VALAC libvala_pack_plugin_la_vala.stamp error: Package `libvala-0.30' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) Makefile:850: recipe for target 'libvala_pack_plugin_la_vala.stamp' failed make[2]: *** [libvala_pack_plugin_la_vala.stamp] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/webreflection/Devel/gnome/checkout/gnome-builder/plugins/vala-pack' Makefile:537: recipe for target 'install-recursive' failed make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/webreflection/Devel/gnome/checkout/gnome-builder/plugins' Makefile:653: recipe for target 'install-recursive' failed make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 *** Error during phase install of gnome-builder: ########## Error running make DESTDIR=/home/webreflection/Devel/gnome/runtime/usr/_jhbuild/root-gnome-builder install *** [101/101] ``` Following step by step **that** page I've managed to build most of the things and finally, eventually, happily, starting building via ~/Devel/gnome/runtime/usr/bin/jhbuild run make prefix=~/Devel/gnome/runtime/usr/ from within the gjs-documentation Now I'm not entirely sure who's fault is that, but I'm afraid I wouldn't call `jhbuild` a smooth experience, it took less time to fully configure MacPorts on OSX El Captain and build gjs and WebKitGTK there without breaking a thing. jhbuild on OSX also has been left there ... but at this point I wonder: 1. why there's no MacPort (or Homebrew) to bring jhbuild already configured on Mac ? 2. why doesn't ArchWiki points at that page or at this AUR package (that IMO didn't work anyway?) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jhbuild/ 3. how come sanitize check keeps failing with automake when I have 1.15 installed and apparently is not greater or equal than 1.10? Other questions I might try to answer myself, some bug or doc update to file, and other things to think about, right now I'm quite happy I've finally seen the light.
