Sugar on Fedora Core 6

Sugar currently does not build on Fedora Core 6 python 2.5 and xulrunner/firefox 1.8/1.9 are required. These packages are not available in the official fedora repositories.

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.

1. yum -y update
2. yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
3. 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 use sugar-jhbuild.
