I installed every -dev package listed that I didn't already have.
I then tried jhbuild bootstrap again and got exactly the same problem.
So then I tried jhbuild bootstrap --ignore-system; this built more
things (e.g., m4), but still failed to build automake with exactly the
same error (except it was [5/7] instead of [3/4]).
BTW I had already tried building pygobject from the tarball, but Debian
stable's libraries are too old for it to build, but with a strange
error:
$ PYTHON=/home/mark/opt/python31/bin/python3 ./configure --prefix
/home/mark/opt/pygobject
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
... lots of checking lines omitted ...
checking for GI... no
configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.24.0
gobject-introspection-1.0 >= 1.29.0
) were not met:
No package 'gobject-introspection-1.0' found
This is weird because I have gobject-introspection installed.
But in any case this wouldn't help much even if it worked because it
would give me Python 3 with Gtk 2 whereas I want to try out Python 3
with Gtk 3.
I have an Xubuntu system that has packages for all this but again it is
Python 3 for Gtk 2 not Gtk 3, so it is rather hard to learn Python 3 +
Gtk 3!
