Hi everyone: I changed the jhbuildrc file to the default one and I rebuild it. And I find that the error changes. This time the error is about the GtkCssProvider part in Gtk+3. Then I try sudo apt-get gtk+3. I am not sure the reason but it continues to install given that I have installed libgtk-3-dev -bin. Could anyone tell me why?
There are modules that require a newer gtk+ version than the one your distro provides. Usually the development version of gtk+, that is to make use of the latest additions or fixes in there.
And then, I thought the problem should gone but I was wrong. The same error kept popping up and I had to ignore it. After ignoring two times it came to build gnome-online-accounts, which cannot be built at all. So I ignored it again.
This does not sound good. Although, more details are needed.
Then the amazing thing happened, the libgdata only asked me to install the goa-1.0 then built successfully. I am not sure whether it is "good" but at least it finished. Because I am quite a newbie, I just guess that libgdata needs goa, and goa needs webkit. But goa has a release while the webkit 2.0.10 does not have even for Ubuntu whole distos.
You first assumption is right. libgdata requires goa, and goa requires webkit. As far as I see, goa requires the development version. So, likely you will not find it either in Ubuntu or most of the other distros out there. FWIW, while doing other stuffs I left building libgdata with the most recent jhbuild, it built without major issues (only a known headache of libicu Ubuntu 12.04). I tend to think there is strange in your installation.
