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
