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).
== Deb Packages for Gutsy ==


== Page moved to Sugar Labs ==
See [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2007-September/003343.html this mail] for a way of installing packages for sugar core and a handful of activities if you're running Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10). The list is expected to eventually include all the activities shipped on the laptop.

== apt-get the prerequisites ==

You need a number of packages from the Ubuntu repositories. Some of these packages are not available for the stock Ubuntu install, and you will need to enable the ''universe'' and ''multiverse'' repositories. (You can do this by either using the Synaptic Package Manager, or simply editing /etc/apt/sources.list, but don't forget to reload afterwards.)

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>I was building an 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-
On PPC, I used the following command:

<pre>sudo apt-get install build-essential cvs docbook-utils subversion libgtk2.0-dev libidl-dev \

</pre>

=== Xapian ===

=== Start Avahi ===
(not needed on Dapper)
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>

=== Packages from Gutsy ===

Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to include 'gutsy' repositories (main and universe), then upgrade/install:

<pre>sudo aptitude install python-dbus python-telepathy</pre>

:Why is this necessary? jhbuild includes dbus-python and telepathy-python... --[[User:Morgs|morgs]]

=== Build non-packaged code ===

On my Feisty Ubuntu box, I had to install the g++ compiler to get some of the following packages to work. Use the following if you have any trouble:
<pre>
sudo apt-get install g++
</pre>

<pre>
./sugar-jhbuild buildone -a loudmouth
./sugar-jhbuild buildone -a datastore
./sugar-jhbuild buildone -a xapian-core # note: you need libxapian15, not libxapian13
./sugar-jhbuild buildone -a xapian-bindings
./sugar-jhbuild buildone -a pyxapian
./sugar-jhbuild buildone -a artwork
./sugar-jhbuild buildone -a hippo-canvas
./sugar-jhbuild buildone -a sugar
./sugar-jhbuild buildone -a presence-service
</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 ===

The following solution also applies in other situations. I ran into it when attempting:

./sugar-jhbuild build-base

make died while building fontconfig on a Ubuntu Dapper box with a missing separator error.

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.

=== os.py not finding sugar-emulator folder ===

The error message is:

./sugar-jhbuild run
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./sugar-jhbuild", line 11, in ?
main.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/home/barbolo/Desktop/sugar/sugar-jhbuild/main.py", line 104, in main
jhbuild.commands.run(command, config, args)
File "/home/barbolo/Desktop/sugar/sugar-jhbuild/build-scripts/jhbuild/jhbuild/commands/__init__.py", line 74, in run
return cmd.execute(config, args)
File "/home/barbolo/Desktop/sugar/sugar-jhbuild/build-scripts/jhbuild/jhbuild/commands/base.py", line 238, in execute
os.execlp(args[0], *args)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/os.py", line 324, in execlp
execvp(file, args)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/os.py", line 341, in execvp
_execvpe(file, args)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/os.py", line 379, in _execvpe
func(fullname, *argrest)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

The solution:

Edit the archive sugar-jhbuild/main.py:

Change line 101:

args.append('sugar-emulator')

for

args.append('/home/barbolo/Desktop/sugar/sugar-jhbuild/source/sugar/sugar-emulator')


Note that /home/barbolo/Desktop/sugar is where my sugar-jhbuild folder is located, so you may change it!

== 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 use:

sugar-shell
