[RANT ON] The main reason I want to compile stuff is because I want to help Ubuntu and upstream Gnome to write patches and fix bugs. But I really have better things to do than wasting my time with these kinds of errors. It seems to be simply not possible to JUST get the code for an application, and then engage in a happy cycle of hack, build and debug. Instead one has to learn a million of different tools, become an expert with jhbuild, automake, packaging and dependency management and other little tools. And additionally the process fails way too ofter because of missing stuff, incompatible versions or because of stupid bugs like this one. Most of the time hours are lost already way be fore I can touch a single line of code.
I really don't understand why this process cant be a little simpler or at least quality control a bit better to avoid putting these unnecessary stones at peoples feet. Doesn't Ubuntu want to attract new developers?
