I don't think there is an up-to-date document.  But the order of
compilation would be:

gtksourceview (needed by glimmer)
glimmer
gdl
gnome-build
anjuta2

You need a moderately recent gnome2 installation.  Also dependencies for
all these packages are libgnomeui, librsvg and gtkhtml2.

I don't think there are any caveats, but if you encounter problems send
a mail to the list or join the channel.  There will always be someone
willing to help.

Unfortunately we don't have good organization.  We should be using
bugzilla for that, but for some reason (probably that we discuss most of
this in the irc channel) we don't.

I totally agree.
