Yes, many Ubuntu packages are customized and often don't work unless you use the same customization options in your build. You can find out what those are by running 'apt-get source FOO' and then looking in debian/rules. However it's too complicated to write a clear guide for.
Also, it sounds like you may be building the wrong project. The leak is in project 'gjs', not 'gnome-shell'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672297 Title: gnome-shell uses lots of memory, and grows over time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1672297/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
