The easiest way to install [[Sugar]] on Ubuntu is to use [[Sugar with sugar-jhbuild|Sugar-jhbuild]]. The instructions on this page are for [[Ubuntu]] 6.10 "Edgy Eft" on x86 (building seems to be currently broken on x86_64). |
|||
== |
== Page moved to Sugar Labs == |
||
You need a number of packages from the Ubuntu repositories. Some of these packages are not available for the stock Ubuntu install, and you may need to enable the ''universe'' and ''multiverse'' repositories. |
|||
<pre> |
|||
sudo apt-get install build-essential cvs docbook-utils subversion libgtk2.0-dev libidl-dev \ |
|||
gnome-common gtk-doc-tools libxt-dev automake1.7 automake1.8 automake1.9 python-gtk2-dev \ |
|||
python-avahi git-core cogito python-dev avahi-utils \ |
|||
libgconf2-dev xserver-xephyr libgnome2-dev libmatchbox-dev python-cairo-dev \ |
|||
libtiff4-dev python-gnome2-dev libxdamage-dev libxdamage1 libxcomposite-dev \ |
|||
libgnomeui-dev libtool libfribidi-dev libgsf-1-dev libbz2-dev libwmf-dev \ |
|||
libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libgnomeprintui2.2-dev \ |
|||
libenchant-dev libnspr-dev darcs libxslt1.1 libxslt1-dev firefox firefox-dev \ |
|||
libasound2-dev sqlite3 |
|||
</pre> |
|||
Even with the universe and multiverse enabled you can have some problems installing these packages. |
|||
You can fix them using the sources.list generator that you can find on [http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ www.ubuntu-nl.org]. |
|||
There may be more packages required; if you find any more, please append them to this list. |
|||
<pre>Note:I needed to install libgnomeui-dev version 2.16.1, libgnomeuimm-2.6-1c2a, and |
|||
libgnomeuimm-2.6-dev. I no longer get the error "package libgnomeui-2.0 cannot be found" |
|||
however I still encounter other errors [chundevi]</pre> |
|||
<pre>Note: I needed to install libncurses5-dev on an amd64. Not sure if others are also seeing |
|||
this problem or if that's the right package. However, it pleased sugar-jhbuild so I can build-base now.</pre> |
|||
<pre>I was building and edgy based VM from a debootstrap base and using edgy packages. I needed to install librsvg2-common before sugar would run.</pre> |
|||
Note: If you get the error "package python-avahi not available" try this- |
|||
<pre>On PPC, I used the following command sudo apt-get install build-essential cvs docbook-utils subversion libgtk2.0-dev libidl-dev \ |
|||
gnome-common gtk-doc-tools libxt-dev automake1.7 automake1.8 automake1.9 python-gtk2-dev git-core python-dev libgconf2-dev libgnome2-dev \ |
|||
python-cairo-dev libtiff4-dev python-gnome2-dev libxdamage-dev libxdamage1 libxcomposite-dev libgnomeui-dev libtool libfribidi-dev \ |
|||
libgsf-1-dev libbz2-dev libwmf-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libgnomeprintui2.2-dev libenchant-dev |

</pre> |
|||
Then you must ensure that the Avahi daemon is enabled and running. Execute: |
|||
<pre>sudo vim /etc/default/avahi-daemon</pre> |
|||
and ensure the directive "AVAHI_DAEMON_START" is set to 1. Then execute: |
|||
<pre>sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start</pre> |
|||
== Using Sugar-jhbuild == |
|||
Use of Sugar-jhbuild is detailed on [[Sugar_with_sugar-jhbuild|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 |
|||
== Troubleshooting == |
|||
=== automake version mismatch === |
|||
During the building task you may get the following error: |
|||
error during stage configure of matchbox-window-manager:....[9/12] |
|||
This error happens because Ubuntu uses the automake 1.4 version in contrast with matchbox-window-manager which uses the automake 1.9 version. In order to bypass this error you can execute the following command: |
|||
sudo update-alternatives --config automake |
|||
You will get the following list with the asterisk being at the 1 selection |
|||
There are 3 alternatives which provide `automake'. |
|||
Selection Alternative |
|||
+ 1 /usr/bin/automake-1.4 |
|||
2 /usr/bin/automake-1.7 |
|||
* 3 /usr/bin/automake-1.9 |
|||
Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: |
|||
Here you should press the button 3 and the try again to build sugar. |
|||
=== Mozilla Build Error === |
|||
You may get stuck at a Mozilla build error - I did on Edgy AMD64. Two ways to resolve the problem, either: |
|||
sudo aptitude install libxul-dev |
|||
which may not work, or copy the Mozilla or Firefox .pc files in /usr/lib/pkgconfig to xulrunner-*.pc files (You may only need to create xulrunner-gtkmozembed.pc and not the rest...). Either way, then, build with ./sugar-jhbuild build -s mozilla to skip building Mozilla from source. I have not yet completed a full Sugar build, though, so these instructions may just be masking a problem. --RP |
|||
=== Building libabiword === |
|||
If you get an error like |
|||
<pre> |
|||
*** Building libabiword *** [24/35] |
|||
<...> |
|||
I can't seem to figure out which platform you are using. |
|||
You should probably try using the autoconfiscated build system (rather |
|||
than this, the deprecated and unsupported diving make system) by running |
|||
configure (creating it with autogen.sh if need be) and using GNU Make. |
|||
Using configure is a requirement for all known platforms that aren't some form |
|||
of Windows, QNX Neutrino, or MacOS X. |
|||
</pre> |
|||
just choose the "configure" option. This error shows up (probably) because AbiWord has a regular Makefile setup for building on Windows in addition to AutoConf stuff for nearly every other platform, so it is just "faking out" jhbuild in all likelyhood. |
|||
=== git, the SCM === |
|||
On Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake, git has been deprecated. You have to run the following command to get git to work properly. |
|||
sudo update-alternatives --config git |
|||
Select option #2: git-scm |
|||
=== network manager error === |
|||
If, after running <tt> ./sugar-jhbuild run</tt> you get the following error: |
|||
DBusException: Connection ":1.12" is not allowed to own |
|||
the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" due to |
|||
security policies in the configuration file |
|||
you have two solutions |
|||
==== Method 1 : Install NetworkManager==== |
|||
You want to ensure that the NetworkManager is |
|||
* installed |
|||
sudo apt-get install network-manager |
|||
* reachable by console applications, in file <tt>/etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf</tt> add |
|||
<allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/> |
|||
after |
|||
<policy at_console="true"> |
|||
* started, by restarting the whole dbus |
|||
sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart |
|||
==== Method 2 : Only provide .conf file ==== |
|||
Copy the [http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/NetworkManager/gnome/applet/nm-applet.conf?rev=1.2 configuration file] to <tt>/etc/dbus-1/system.d</tt> . |
|||
Restart the dbus as above. |
|||
== 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 |
