Hi, Everyone, I ended up applying latest changeset (11247), and it appears that the style diretory of Galaxy has changed a bit (it looks like the new Makefile under the style directory implements grunt). So, I installed npm, and ran nmp install, installed grunt-cli, and got everything to build without an error (i.e. make ran and reported 'Done, without errors').
So, it looks like I might actually have this working. At least I was able to get grunt to build a base.css. So,perhaps I will not need help after all. I'll mess around with this a little bit and message the list again if I need further assistance. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post.
