[gnome-love] Build problems with jhbuild building gedit:

[Carsten Petersen <c petersen45 gmail com>]

I am a novice in gnome development.
I have years experience in sw development, both on the  unix and ms windows platforms.
Can anybody help me running jhbuild without errors?

Build problems with jhbuild building gedit:


My distribution is Ubuntu 10.4 with the latest updates and some software modules added by Synaptic.

I have installed Jhbuild following the guidelines spec. for jhbuild.

Then I try to build gedit from scratch in ~/checkout/gnome2.

command: 
jhbuild build gedit

During the build I get the following errors.
To continue the build process, I acknowledge with the '2' option. 
I have clipped the errormessages and pasted these in below.


1. Pango build Error:
====================
  CC     libpangocairo_1_0_la-pangocairo-fcfontmap.lo

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DEPENDENT_CFLAGS
and DEPENDENT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Building and installing gedit succeeds, even with the above errors! Why?
Are the not build parts taken from my distribution?
