Installation
The easiest way to install Sugar on Ubuntu is to use 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).
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 may need to enable the universe and multiverse repositories.
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 mozilla-dev libmatchbox-dev python-cairo-dev \ libtiff4-dev python-gnome2-dev libxdamage-dev libxdamage1 libxcomposite-dev libtool
There may be more packages required; if you find any more, please append them to this list.
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]
Then you must ensure that the Avahi daemon is enabled and running. Execute:
sudo vim /etc/default/avahi-daemon
and ensure the directive "AVAHI_DAEMON_START" is set to 1. Then execute:
sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start
Using Sugar-jhbuild
Use of Sugar-jhbuild is detailed on 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.
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 ./sugar-jhbuild run 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 /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf 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 configuration file to /etc/dbus-1/system.d . Restart the dbus as above.
Testing sugar
When using 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
