If you have not installed any development packages

(assuming a default install of [[Fedora Core]] 6)

Carry out these three steps before installing the packages below.

# yum -y update
# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
# yum groupinstall "X Software Development"

==Install required packages==
(assumes some developer tools have been installed)

You will need some packages from the [[Fedora Core]] repositories.
You can download the [[Sugar]] environment from here http://hg.fedoraproject.org/hg/olpc/applications/sugar--devel

Or you can use yum, as root, to install them:

yum install git gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake libtool automake17 firefox \
firefox-devel Xulrunner Xulrunner-devel avahi avahi-glib avahi-tools avahi-devel xorg-x11-server-Xnest \
libXdamage-devel docbook-style-xsl gtk-doc libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libXt-devel perl-XML-Parser \
gnome-common libgsf-devel libgnomeprint22-devel libgnomeprintui22-devel \
enchant-devel fribidi-devel python python-devel gstreamer gstreamer-devel gstreamer-plugins \
gstreamer-plugins-base-devel Xephyr

There may be more packages required; if you find any more, please append them to this list.

==Build==

The easiest way to build Sugar from sources is to [[Sugar with sugar-jhbuild|use sugar-jhbuild]].
