Sugar on Fedora Core 6

The preferred method for building Sugar is to build from sources using sugar-jhbuild, as dependencies continue to change. A full build using sugar-jhbuild will require about 3 Gig of disk space.

Step 1: Make sure that all build tools are installed.

Carry out these three steps before installing the packages below.

1. yum -y update
2. yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
3. yum groupinstall "X Software Development"

(LeJames, 2007/03/03) found that he needed the following packages in addition to the ones above:

1. yum install intltool nspr-devel expat-devel ncurses-devel docbook-style-xsl
2. yum install libxml2-devel glib2-devel gettext-devel gtk2-devel gtk-doc
3. yum install darcs gstreamer-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel
4. yum install fribidi fribidi-devel enchant enchant-devel
5. yum install libxslt-devel libxslt-python GConf2-devel libgsf-devel
6. yum install xorg-x11-server-Xephyr

Step 2: Follow the build instructions for sugar-jhbuild.
