I'm trying to build gnome apps using JHBuild. But this is what I get

$ jhbuild build gnome-music
Required packages:
  System installed packages which are too old:
    (none)
  No matching system package installed:
    libsystemd-journal (libsystemd-journal.pc, required=201)
    libtiff 
jhbuild build: Required system dependencies not installed. Install using the command 'jhbuild sysdeps --install' or to ignore system dependencies use command-line option --nodeps

And when I run $ jhbuild sysdeps --install, I get,

Required packages:
  System installed packages which are too old:
    (none)
  No matching system package installed:
    libsystemd-journal (libsystemd-journal.pc, required=201)
    libtiff 
Optional packages: (JHBuild will build the missing packages)
  System installed packages which are too old:
    WebKit (webkit2gtk-4.0.pc, required=2.11.90, installed=2.8.5)
  No matching system package installed:
I: Installing dependencies on system: libsystemd-journal libtiff
I: Using apt-file to search for providers; this may be slow.  Please wait.
I: No native package found for libsystemd-journal (/libsystemd-journal.pc)
I: No native package found for libtiff (/usr/include/tiff.h)
I: Nothing to install

I searched for the file libsystemd-journal.pc and found that it's in the package libsystemd-journal-dev. But there is no such package available for Wily. So what can I do..?

Try jhbuild build --nodeps gnome-music

Or try building in debian Testing or Fedora 23 which are known to be better supported.

Download and install this compatibility package which provides the necessary libsystemd-journal.pc file.

Just download and install a .deb from here . Then re-run $ jhbuild sysdeps --install and the error would go away.
