Installation
It was really easy to get Sugar going under gentoo using sugar-jhbuild. The instructions on this page have been tested under Gentoo 2006.1 ~x86
Emerge(1) the prerequisites
There are a number of packages required to get going. All of these, with the exception of jhbuild, are in the portage tree.
emerge -av dev-util/git cvs subversion docbook-sgml-utils gtk-doc avahi expat

Getting and building jhbuild
Instructions for getting and installing jhbuild can be found at: http://www.gnome.org/~jamesh/jhbuild.html#getting-started
Using Sugar-jhbuild
Use of Sugar-jhbuild is detailed on building Sugar from sources. To summarize those instructions:
git clone git://dev.laptop.org/sugar-jhbuild cd sugar-jhbuild ./sugar-jhbuild
If you had already checked out sugar-jhbuild previously, make sure your copy is up-to-date before building:
cd sugar-jhbuild git pull
The sanity checks are still very basic but, often, good information can be gotten from:
./sugar-jhbuild sanitycheck
Troubleshooting
missing db2html
You may find that jhbuild complains about missing 'db2html' in which case you will need to create a symlink from docbook2html:
ln -s /usr/bin/docbook2html /usr/bin/db2html
missing gconf.def
gnome-python-desktop was complaining about a missing gconf.def:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'sugar-jhbuild/build/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/gconf.defs'
I rectified this with a:
touch build/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/gconf.defs
and the build completed without problem.
Testing sugar
When using sugar-jhbuild, you can use:
./sugar-jhbuild run
If you want to run Sugar from the source tree enter in a jhbuild shell:
./sugar-jhbuild shell
Then from the directory sugar-jhbuild/source/sugar), use:
shell/sugar
