Installation Notes
There may still be some issues with this installation... known to work as of 6/15/06.
gecko-embed
pre-requisites
I checked out gecko embed and compiled it, but before I did that I had to install a set of packages:
- mozilla-xulrunner: you can install it from the yast package manager
- mozilla-nss-devel: you can't install it with the default packages on package manager, but you can download it directly from suse's online repository
- gecko-sdk: This is the equivelent of the xulrunner-devel in fedora talk, and you can get it from suse's online repository as well
- Had to compile avahi and install it. no details, if someone went through this recently, please update with details
compile geck embed
- First you need to check it out from cvs. Use the following command:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome co gecko-embed
- cd into the gecko-embed folder and run autogen.sh (./autogen.sh)
- run make
- run "make install" as root (or use sudo if you're a good linux citizen)
Sugar
- If you don't have mercurial, get it from here. This is not where I installed it from, but this will do
- to check out sugar, use:
hg clone http://hg.fedoraproject.org/hg/olpc/applications/sugar--devel
- autogen.sh
- make
- run "avahi-daemon -D" (if you haven't configured it to run as a service)
- run sugar/sugar
The first time I ran sugar, it seg-faulted. We traced the problem down to an issue loading the olpc theme. I am running KDE on suse, so there might be some misconfiguration of gnome there, I'll figure it out later, right now I am happy with the workaround even if the interface doesn't look as shakadelic.
The workaround is to comment out the following two lines in sugar/__init__.py
if settings.get_property('gtk-theme-name') != 'olpc':
settings.set_string_property('gtk-theme-name', 'olpc', )
