I spent a little while playing with jhbuild under various operating systems a while ago. Once jhbuild is installed and working it's fantastic, but setting it up is an a*se and a half. And *no-one* seems to package it. Please add to the build instructions on the wiki page for other distros :-) I never could get it working on FreeBSD or Debian squeeze ... - d. _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
