mmm I'm running into a new problem now, which I really don't understand... Teds-iMac:~ gnucash$ jhbuild build Loading .env environment variables… jhbuild build: failed to parse /Users/gnucash/Source/jhbuild/modulesets/file:/Users/john/Development/GTK-OSX/gtk-osx-build/modulesets-stable/gtk-osx.modules: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/Users/gnucash/Source/jhbuild/modulesets/file:/Users/john/Development/GTK-OSX/gtk-osx-build/modulesets-stable/gtk-osx.modules'
Where does this /Users/john path comes from? I didn't change anything to my setup, came back 5 days later, and I'm getting this error now... Does jhbuild run git in the background? Any idea what I should do now?
