I've installed today sugar on Ubuntu Dapper on i686 and I hope this description will be useful for someone,
but I'm not an expert.
I have installed everything under $HOME/olpc/ directory, root privilages are required only for apt-get.
Feel free to make changes on this page. [[User:Marcin|Marcin]] 13:07, 2 June 2006 (EDT)


== Page moved to Sugar Labs ==
== apt-get ==
You need a number of packages from Ubuntu Dapper repositiories:


'''This page has been [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Ubuntu moved] to the Sugar Labs wiki.'''
sudo apt-get libgtk2.0-dev libidl-dev gnome-common gtk-doc-tools libxt-dev

You may also need avahi-utils, as well as others (please add if you discover them).

== xulrunner ==
xulrunner is packaged in Debian, but not in Ubuntu yet. I got it from repository, but perhaps a tarball is a better choice.

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot login
(password: anonymous)
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co -r MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH mozilla/client.mk
cd mozilla/
make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=xulrunner

Create mozconfig file:

. $topsrcdir/xulrunner/config/mozconfig
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@topsrcdir@/obj-xulrunner
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-javaxpcom
ac_add_options --prefix=$HOME/olpc/local

And make MOZCONFIG point to it:
export MOZCONFIG=$HOME/olpc/mozilla/.mozconfig

Now you can compile xulrunner:
cd mozilla
make -f client.mk build
make -f client.mk install

I prefer to keep everything in one place than to put it into eg. /usr/local/ or /usr/lib/python...,
so I set a few variables to make next steps easier:

export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/olpc/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/olpc/local/lib
export PATH=$HOME/olpc/local/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/olpc/local/lib/pkgconfig/



== gecko-embed ==
Get it from repository

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome login
(password: anonymous)
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome co gecko-embed

build and install

cd gecko-embed
./autogen.sh --with-gecko=xulrunner --prefix=$HOME/olpc/local # it calls ./configure
make
make install

== sugar ==
Get it from repository. From [http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/Mercurial Mercurial] [http://hg.fedoraproject.org/hg/olpc/applications/sugar--devel repository].

sudo apt-get install mercurial # if you have not used it yet
hg clone http://hg.fedoraproject.org/hg/olpc/applications/sugar--devel

and ...

cd sugar--devel/
./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/olpc/local
make
make install

== Testing sugar ==
