Jhbuild build

Take a cup of coffee to enjoy it or continue to do other work. This will take a while, depending on the length of the video speed and machine performance.

Also, if you encounter the following problems during compilation:

Question 1:

Collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

[...]

* ** Error during phase build of gnome-shell: ########## Error running make *** [24/28]

Solution: do not close the current terminal and open a new terminal,

For 32-bit

Rm ~ /Gnome-shell/install/lib/*. la

For 64-bit

Rm ~ /Gnome-shell/install/lib64/*. la

Then return to the original terminal and run it again.

Jhbuild build

The following content may appear:

[1] Rerun phase build

[2] Ignore error and continue to install

[3] Give up on module

[4] Start shell

[5] Reload configuration

[6] Go to phase "wipe directory and start over"

[7] Go to phase "configure"
