Although I had no problems building with jhbuild before, I now ran into troubles while building gtk. To be specific I got following error:

gtk-update-icon-cache "The generated cache was invalid"

After some googling I found out that the problem is glibs configure script that didn't detect the endianess correctly. In fact I noticed following line:

configure: WARNING: Could not determine endianness.

It turned out that "endian.h" could not be found, so I changed the include in the configure.in file to "machine/endian.h" and after that every thing compiled fine. I'm afraid this patch breaks the build on ppc-linux though...

Following bug report fixed the problem for ppc-linux in the past but I guess not for MacOS: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453566

So it seems that this is more a general glib bug. I find it odd though that nobody here has complained before...

So how do we proceed and has anyone else seen this problem?

Cheers,
Ezra.
