Broke in pango - errors below:

[Is there a file or other accessible reference that I can look into to get some idea of what fraction of the way through I am?]

That will build ‘master’, though be sure to look at https://github.com/jralls/gnucash-on-osx/blob/master/modulesets/gnucash.modules <https://github.com/jralls/gnucash-on-osx/blob/master/modulesets/gnucash.modules> and note the instructions for boost; jhbuild doesn’t know how to build that. After running `jhbuild build` you can
