Source repositories
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 jhbuild from GNOME cvs
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome login Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:2401/cvs/gnome CVS password: <press enter> $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome checkout jhbuild
- Install jhbuild
$ cd jhbuild $ make $ make install
- Create a .jhbuildrc file in your home directoy. Use sugar.jhbuildrc as a template
- Build sugar and his dependencies
jhbuild -m http://gnome.org/~marco/sugar.modules build sugar
- Run sugar
jhbuild run sugar
Distribution specific
- Suse instructions can be found at Sugar Setup on SUSE
