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 gstreamer xulrunner pycurl networkmanager |
|||
I have definately missed one or two as I started with a full xorg-x11 desktop with gnome already installed, please add them to this list if you find any! |
|||
=== 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 [[Sugar#Build_from_sources|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_with_sugar-jhbuild|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 |
