How to Compile & Install Gnome Builder on Debian

Note: This post is early access for using Gnome Builder. It may be including some bug or any error, please calm when you found some bug. So I think this is becoming the best editor for gnome user, Cheer!

I have heard about gnome builder announcement on Indiegogo in some blog (I can't remember that). It is very interesting for me. Because it is made for Gnome user, and me too. It do not tell it anymore, let's watch belowing video to introduce Gnome Builder. Read more about the feature of Gnome Builder via https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Builder/Features

Okay, I can't wait to try it. Let's go to compile & install it!

Installation

Install some prerequisite packages for Gnome Builder.

$ sudo aptitude install intltool gtk-doc-tools libgtksourceview-3.0-dev libdevhelp-dev libgit2-glib-1.0-dev libgjs-dev python-gobject-dev llvm-dev libclang-dev python3-dev

Go to Gnome git repository home, and select the lastest version of Gnome Builder or any version what you want. In my case, I choose GNOME_BUILDER_3_16_3 to download it.
Extract the compression file (GNOME_BUILDER_3_16_3.tar.xz), using this command below (It can use only .tar.xz only)
```
$ tar -Jxvf GNOME_BUILDER_3_16_3.tar.xz
```
go to the directory which you extracted
```
$ cd GNOME_BUILDER_3_16_3
```
Execute autogen.sh and run make
```
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
```

All done!, Let's enjoy the editor on our Gnome

Next post, I will post how I know the prerequisite packages for compiling C source.

Bye.
