Building unstable on Mac

You didn’t build gtk-doc and Pango requires at least the macros for it.

As to your question, it depends. It’s telling you on the line just below your question that pango is the seventeenth out of sixty-five packages, but it doesn’t know that some of them build in a couple of seconds and others (webkit and guile in particular) take hours.

Regards,
John Ralls

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.
