Please contribute instructions for getting Sugar to work with Debian GNU/Linux. In the meanwhile, the instructions for Sugar on Ubuntu Linux will probably work on Debian as well.


Installing sugar on Debian Unstable

  • For now Sugar can only be installed on Unstable (SID)

Steps

  • Install jhbuild
  • Follow this instructions Sugar_with_sugar-jhbuild
  • After building everything, ./sugar-jhbuild run failed because other packages were not installed on The system. The following list should be considered prerequisite to anyone wanting to run sugar on debian unstable.
automake1.7 gtk-doc-tools xnest libtiff-tools libtiff4 libtiff4-dev gconf2 gconf2-common libgconf2-dev dbus python-dbus avahi-daemon avahi-utils  
avahi-discover python-avahi network-manager-dev network-manager dhcdbd libnm-* network-manager-gnome

I recovered these packages from my shell history, by searching for 'apt-get install'. Obviously, many of them brought their own dependencies and I probably happened to some important packages installed already, so please feel free to add to this list, or make corrections.
