It's just me. Due to http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26337
, building with jhbuild requires one to shell out to run ./autogen.sh
because jhbuild tries to go straight to 'make'. Doing just
./autogen.sh uses the default prefix, which is of course /usr/local .
If I shell out and then do ./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/mesa then it
works properly. Phew!
