Created attachment 258818 [details] [review] fixes build failure
Magdalen: thank you, your patch works
Review of attachment 258818 [details] [review]: This is likely to have suddenly become necessary because of gnome-common changes. If this patch works for you, I'm ok with it. But don't we also need to ensure the m4/ directory exists by either: 1) mkdir -p m4 in autogen.sh 2) Adding it in git with an empty .gitignore

Just to make it easier for people using jhbuild who haven't come across this before if its in, really. I did not know about 2. though! Cheers for the tip.
