GNOME autogen won't work!

[terriblenight]

I've tried to build GNOME Shell over and over again but I can't seem to fix the missing dependencies. At first I couldn't find "gnome-common.sh" and then when I finally found it i got more errors.

For the users before Cinux Blue (build 0.1.5.213), you will need to download gnome-common, configure it, make it and make install it. After that you need to download jhbuilder -> git clone git://git.gnome.org/jhbuild . After that when you hit ./autogen.sh you will get an error saying "Perhaps you need to adjust your ACLOCAL_FLAGS?".

How to fix "Perhaps you need to adjust your ACLOCAL_FLAGS?"
First you need to find the location of your aclocal flags. If you have messed around with this, you will need to search for it:

# find /usr -name libtool.m4

Which should tell you where the file resides. The default is:

# /usr/share/aclocal

Then run this simple command:

# export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/share/aclocal"

Then, we can build like normal and the macros should be found.

# ./autogen.sh
