Has anyone successfully built the current Gnome 3 on Squeeze and if so could you provide the steps necessary to do so. I would really like to get involved in contributing to Gnome but cannot seem to get the development environment setup.

Hi Scott,


Here is my jhbuildrc, but this is using Debian testing/unstable:

--- start ----
# Default policy, maybe overriddend by -f
# Only rebuild modules that have changed
build_policy = 'updated'

# get release modules
moduleset = 'http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/releng/3.0.0/gnome-suites-core-3.0.0.modules'
modules = ['meta-gnome-core']
checkoutroot = '/media/AMU/Gnome3/rel30-source'

# the prefix to configure/install modules to (must have write access)
prefix = os.path.expanduser('/opt/gnome3')

os.environ["DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS"] = "unix:path=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket"

skip.extend([
    'dbus',
    'dbus-glib',
    'expat',
    'fontconfig',
    'gudev',
#    'gtk+-2',
    'gtk-doc',
    'intltool',
    'iso-codes',
    'libcroco3-dev',
    'libgpg-error',
    'libgcrypt',
    'libtasn1',
    'libvolume_id',
    'libxml2',
    'libxslt',
#    'NetworkManager',
    'nss',
    'nspr',
#   'PolicyKit',
#   'polkit',
#    'poppler-data',
    'pulseaudio',
#    'shared-mime-info',
    'sqlite3',
    'tracker',
    'udev',
#    'udisks',
#    'upower',
#
# Not needed but part of the standard moduleset
    # replaced by gnome-bluetooth
    'bluez-gnome',
    # replaced by udisks
    'gnome-mount',
    # No required by anything
    'libipod-devcice',
    'mozilla',
    'firefox',
])
---- end ----


Hope it's useful, I do remember of doing some stuffs to make 1 or 2 module compiled. Only minor thingy like commenting or fixing typos but forgot what it was.


All the best.
