Questions tagged [jhbuild]

JHBuild can be used to build projects from CVS, Darcs, Git and others with their dependencies into a separate install prefix. It is not intended as a replacement for system package managers. This tag is intended for all questions and problems occurring when using or installing JHBuild.

JHBuild was originally written for building GNOME, but has since been extended to be usable with other projects. A “module set” file can be hosted on a web server, allowing for build rules independent of the JHBuild project.

JHBuild can build modules from a variety of sources, including CVS, Subversion, Bazaar, Darcs, Git and Mercurial repositories, as well as Tar and Zip archives hosted on web or FTP sites. JHBuild can build modules using a variety of build systems, including Autotools, CMake, WAF, Python Distutils and Perl Makefiles.

JHBuild is not intended as a replacement for the distribution's package management system. Instead, it makes it easy to build software into a separate install prefix without interfering with the rest of the system.
