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,

  • Check out sugar-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!
