===Install required packages=== |
|||
This tutorial is intended to be used by those of us who are interested in the project, but not to the degree with which we might gain access to the hardware :-) |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
I have made this relatively granular in detail, as that is what I would have liked to have seen--especially as a relative novice. My hope is that others might have an easier go of it! |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
Note: This is a work in progress. It is not complete, due to Python not being able to see several modules required by Sugar. If you have experience with Python environment configuration, please edit this page! I am open to any and all comments/suggestions, and would like to get this up and running as a tutorial for others. |
|||
Note: The instructions below are for Fedora Core 5, though may work on older or newer versions of Fedora Core. |
|||
==Get and install mercurial== |
|||
<pre> |
|||
su - |
|||
rpm -i mercurial-0.9-1.fc5.i386.rpm (*see below) |
|||
</pre> |
|||
==Get Sugar from repository== |
|||
<pre> |
|||
hg clone http://hg.fedoraproject.org/hg/olpc/applications/sugar--devel |
|||
</pre> |
|||
==Get dependencies ironed out== |
|||
<pre> |
|||
yum install gnome-common |
|||
yum install gtk2 gtk2-devel (Note: this is libgtk2.0 in Debian distros) |
|||
yum install libstdc++ (which pulled multiple dependencies of its own!) |
|||
yum install libstdc++.so.5 (even though libstdc++.so.6 existed!) |
|||
yum install avahi |
|||
yum install avahi-qt3 |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
</pre> |
|||
==Create symbolic link for libstdc++== |
|||
<pre> |
|||
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 |
|||
</pre> |
|||
==Get xulrunner from http://developer.mozilla.org== |
|||
==Install xulrunner (gecko-embed depends on it)== |
|||
<pre> |
|||
tar -xzf xulrunner-1.8.0.1.en-US.linux-i686.tar.gz |
|||
(they recommend untarring to /opt/xulrunner/1.8.0.1, I used /opt/xulrunner) |
|||
/opt/xulrunner/xulrunner --register-global |
|||
</pre> |
|||
==Install gecko-embed from cvs== |
|||
<pre> |
|||
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome co gecko-embed |
|||
</pre> |
|||
==Build gecko-embed== |
|||
<pre> |
|||
cd gecko-embed |
|||
./autogen.sh |
|||
make |
|||
make install (as root or use sudo) |
|||
</pre> |
|||
==Get and Install avahi from avahi.org== |
|||
<pre> |
|||
tar -xzf avahi-0.6.11.tar.gz |
|||
./autogen.sh |
|||
</pre> |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
<pre> |
|||
cd sugar--devel |
|||
./autogen.sh |
|||
make |
|||
</pre> |
|||
==Run Sugar== |
|||
<pre> |
|||
avahi-daemon -D (may already be running) |
|||
./sugar/sugar |
|||
Note: Sugar does not run, but throws ImportError: No module named avahi. |
|||
I believe this is due to PYTHONPATH or PATH not being set correctly? |
|||
Note: Alleviated above error by copying avahi.py from avahi.org and dropping in my PYTHONPATH. |
|||
Note: Got an ImportError: No module named geckoembed. I created a symlink to the correct location: |
|||
ln -s /usr/local/lib/python2.4/geckoembed/__init__.py /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/geckoembed/__init__.py |
|||
(This is getting to be a little frustrating...) |
|||
</pre> |
|||
==NOTES== |
|||
* Path will be dependent upon where you saved the RPMs to, i.e., if you saved to the desktop, your path might be /home/<username>/Desktop/<rpm package name> |
