Re: Cannot jhbuild the webkit

William,
if you only want to build and contribute to libgdata, then I still 
think using jhbuild should not be necessary - as I pointed out before, 
you could simply install its dependencies from your distribution 
(Ubuntu), then git clone it and build it.  You could do this in just a 
couple of minutes, rather than spending hours using jhbuild to build 
zillions of dependencies which you don't need anyway.  If the 
maintainer has some specific reason why they think you need to use 
jhbuild, I'd be curious to hear it.
By the way, which program(s) do you want to use with libgdata?  Another 
possible approach would be to use jhbuild to build only those 
program(s) and libgdata, using your distribution to provide all needed 
dependencies.  But I would need to know which programs you want to use 
to be able to say whether Ubuntu 12.10 would have all the dependencies 
you need.
