Welcome! GNOME uses a tool called jhbuild to automate much of the building from source. There's one (of a few) tutorial here https://wiki.gnome.org/GnomeLove/JHBuildIntroduction
Still, you may need to upgrade your distribution to pull in newer versions of some of the dependencies. Sorry for the brief email, but do ask back if you have questions. Also the gnome-l...@gnome.org and #gnome-love irc channel are geared toward helping newcomers.
