GNOME jhbuild libsystemd-* sysdep missing

I want to build and install GNOME in Arch and i keep getting that libsystemd-daemon, libsystemd-journal, and libsystemd-login is missing dependencies when I run "jhbuild sysdeps --install". Doing some research, it appears that these things are contained within the generic libsystemd package that has already been installed in Arch but I'm not sure how to get jhbuild to reconcile that? If that's what needs to be done.

Also, when I run "jhbuild sanitycheck", it will output "automake >= 1.10 not found", but I have automake installed. And even jhbuild lists automake as an installed package when I run "jhbuild sysdeps --install". Weird.... I guess I'll just ignore the sanitycheck warning?

I really need to know what to do about the libsystemd-* issue. Can somebody please help me? So darn excited to get this thing working!

Why are you trying to build GNOME at all, let alone outside of makepkg?

Ok Admin, thank you!

"Why are you trying to build GNOME at all, let alone outside of makepkg?"

I'm building GNOME because I want to tinker with the source for fun. What do you mean outside of makepkg? You're supposed to build gnome with jhbuild.

Re: GNOME jhbuild libsystemd-* sysdep missing

On arch, we use the Arch Build System to build everything.  It is a system that allows you to script the build using the tools appropriate to the package.  Its output is a package that is installed by pacman.  Pacman keeps a database of which files it has installed, and where.  That way, it can watch for file conflicts and, when you choose to remove the package, ensures that all appropriate files have been removed.
