Repeated failed builds when opening project
I opened a project cloned from https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-editing-services.git
and I was seeing continuous output in the build tab. I saved the build log and noticed it contains four times this line, meaning it tried again and again to do ..something.
/home/aleb/dev/pitivi/work/gst-editing-services/configure --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/home/aleb/.var/app/org.gnome.Builder/cache/gnome-builder/install/GStreamer-Editing-Services-Library/host
See the saved build.log
I stopped building and started it by clicking the button in the headerbar, and then it failed fast with this error:
[...]

WARNING: 'aclocal-1.15' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
<http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
<http://www.perl.org/>
make: *** [Makefile:615: aclocal.m4] Error 127
Previously even when clicking the build button I was seeing successive "The build pipeline is in a failed state and requires a rebuild" messages in the Messages tab, but not anymore. Unfortunately I clicked "Clean" and now it does not do the weird thing when opening the project anymore.
