== Page moved to Sugar Labs == |
|||
Please contribute instructions for getting [[Sugar]] to work with [http://debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux]. |
|||
'''This page has been [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Debian moved] to the Sugar Labs wiki.''' |
|||
------- |
|||
= Installing sugar on Debian Unstable = |
|||
Simplest is to use officially packaged Sugar packages: |
|||
aptitude install sugar |
|||
This method now works in Debian Testing as of May 22, 2008 ([http://lists.lo-res.org/pipermail/its.an.education.project/2008-May/000691.html IAEP: Core Sugar framework now in Debian Testing!]) |
|||
The rest of this page is about ways to build Sugar software yourself on a Debian system... |
|||
== Get sugar-jhbuild == |
|||
aptitude install git-core |
|||
Get sugar-jhbuild through git as described in [[Sugar with sugar-jhbuild]]. |
|||
== Run sugar-jhbuild == |
|||
cd sugar-jhbuild |
|||
./sugar-jhbuild update |
|||
./sugar-jhbuild build |
|||
If update fails with: |
|||
ImportError: No Module name ctypes |
|||
Try running |
|||
aptitude install python-ctypes |
|||
Plenty of dependencies are likely to fail. |
|||
For build-base, you should need: |
|||
aptitude install libtool libsqlite3-dev libnspr4-dev docbook-xsl intltool |
|||
Now, this is ALL you need if you want to spend many hours compiling many packages: |
|||
== The Dependencies == |
|||
You have two ways to get the dependencies: Build-base and building/installing packages manually from sid archives. |
|||
=== Alternative 1: Build Base === |
|||
This is easy, but it takes a long time and builds custom versions of all the dependencies (rather than getting them through apt). |
|||
./sugar-jhbuild build-base |
|||
This takes a long time, but will work. After that, do 'build' and 'run'. |
|||
=== Alternative 2: Install dependency libraries directly from Debian Sid === |
|||
* [http://wiki.debian.org/Sugar Debian Sugar] (contains notes both on official packaging and on build-dependencies for manual builds) |
|||
=== Alternative 3: Installing from apt === |
|||
* Install main sugar package (pulls in all dependent and recommended packages) |
|||
apt-get install sugar |
|||
* Optionally search for packages mentioning sugar in their package description |
|||
apt-cache search sugar |
|||
* Optionally install and use a smarter search (includes packages fuzzily related to sugar too) |
|||
aptitude install apt-cache |
|||
apt-cache search sugar |
|||

|||
== Debian-OLPC == |
|||
* Now there is an debian-olpc project [http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debian-olpc/ alioth debian-olpc] |
|||
* You can join the [http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-olpc-devel/ mail list] |

=Problems and Solutions= |
|||
* It seems plausible that while run dependency check, python-cairo and gtk2.0 have problems while installing dependencies, (dev libraries) try installing first the gtk2.0 libraries, that should erase the dependence on python-cairo. |
