About

Application developers on the OLPC will mostly be working with Python, the GTK GUI and the GECKO HTML engine. This combination is called Sugar.

Sugar is the core of the OLPC Environment. It's goal is to turn the Laptop into a fun, easy to use, social experience that promotes sharing and learning.

Sugar is currently under heavy development.

Build from sources

Sugar is composed of a few modules, and depends on xulrunner, which is not yet packaged by distributions. The easier way to build it from sources is to use jhbuild,

git clone git://dev.laptop.org/sugar-jhbuild
  • Build sugar and his dependecies
cd sugar-jhbuild
./sugar-jhbuild
  • Run sugar
sugar-jhbuild run

Note that sugar-jhbuild is still in early development. In particular, dependencies detection will be improved. It needs a lot of testing, so give it a try and report issues!
