My Sunday days are reserved for the GNOME Peru Challenge 2017-1 and one key action to success is to get an application running, to fix a bug. In this matter, jhbuild and GNOME Builder are the way to achieve it.
Unfortunately, when we are trying to clone an app, libraries missing are the problem. These are some screenshots of the job of our group so far.
Felipe Moreno with Test Builder on Fedora 
Martin Vuelta with Polari on ArchiLinux
Randy Real with Polari on Fedora
Ronaldo Cabezas with Gedit on Fedora
Julita Inca with Cheese on Fedora
I hope we can overcome this situation to post in a near future “A successful way to clone apps with GNOMe Builder” 😉
- Thanks to Randy Real for arranging a lab at UIGV today, and for his support.
- This journey, we had the honor to count with a developer from Brasil called Thiago!

Sólo para Mí! 
This kind of problem was not supposed to be settled with Builder and Flatpak?
The new contribution workflow for GNOME
« No specific distribution required. No specific version required. No dependencies hell. »
Hi Okki! we did surpass now all our errors and misunderstandings! 😉 Thanks! https://lleksah.wordpress.com/2017/06/29/clone-and-run-a-gnome-project-with-flatpak-builder-on-f25/
Hi,
I can see that GNOME Builder is showing the runtime/sdk update icon in the top right corner of the first screenshot. Try updating everything there.
The command below should do the job.
$ flatpak update
If not, could you specify which versions of Fedora, Builder, and Flatpak you have there?
Hey Felipe, thanks for your comment! Carlos helped us so much in this endeavour and we success after his guidance! 😀 😀 😀

I also had this kind of problem. The great looking beginner pages in developer center tells me to hit the play button in Builder but building Epiphany requires dev version of webkitgtk, so build fails. Maybe I overlooked it, but there doesn’t appear to be information about how to prepare build environment other than “install flatpack and Builder”. There are some guides about jhbuild in the old and rusty pages, but the new and shiny pages say jhbuild is deprecated.
Hi Al, thanks for reading this post! So far there are eight project that are built to use this technology successfully, please see the projects here:
