Description

GNOME components can be built from source in a coordinated developer workspace.

It is useful for contributors, packagers, and testers who need to compile many related modules with matching dependencies. Builds can download code, run scripts, and consume significant disk and CPU resources, so use an isolated workspace when possible.

How to run

jhbuild

Commands: jhbuild
