I presume you're running this on an installed copy of guile-gnome. You
can use 

./dev-environ guile -s ../src/gtk/examples/hello.scm 

from the build-tree, without installing.

You know you can use 'tla get
address@hidden/guile-gnome-dists--dev gg-pristine'
without setting the default archive?

[further installation snipped]

It seems the generated gtk.scm was installed in the wrong
directory. I'll fix this, but in-tree running should work
nevertheless.

register-archive needs to be called only once.

Since you add a new module, you should do a fresh import into your
archive, and I'll then tag the guile-gnome master archive to it
(i.e. the other way 'round). If you were to hack on a existing module,
you'd branch this.

As above, you'd only branch dists if you want to do hacking on the
files in there, which is just the configuration files for
build-config. Also, please only branch from the master archive
(address@hidden), not from individual's.

So, to get started with your new module:

1) do 'tla archive-setup' as above
2) do 'tla init-tree' in the sourcetree containing your project
3) copy '{arch}/=tagging-method' from the gtk module into your {arch} dir
4) adjust .arch-inventory files until 'tla inventory' shows what you expect
5) tla import

You can then just hack along and I'll branch your tree in the master
archive. After that, we have a arch-pqm setup running that allows you
to merge your changes into the master archive.
