ImportError: No module named config
make[2]: *** [gdbus-example-objectmanager-generated.h] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/joe/projects/gnome/build-root/glib'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Cause: The mentioned 'config.py' is generated from a 'config.py.in'. If the 'buildroot' and 'checkoutroot' (in ~/.jhbuildrc) are two different directories, this generated file is put in the 'buildroot' and cannot be found by the main code (codegen_main.py) in the 'checkoutroot'. Hence causing this error.

Solution: Ensure that 'buildroot' and 'checkoutroot' are the same. By default they are the same.
