Hello,
My machine is somewhat constrained in ram and diskspace so running
Fedora on a chroot was slow enough
that I decided to set *"use_broot":false* on *prefs.json* with the
intention of running the latest sugar natively.
I face a few issues:
First, /automake/ gave me some issues, it was refusing to build with a
cryptic error, it was because I needed to install the *ccache* package.
Then, automake wanted to install to /usr/local/bin, so I changed group
permissions to /usr/local (I did chgrp wheel /usr/local/*;; chmod g+w
/usr/local/*). This installed automake.
By the way, I don't think this process was required because my system's
automake is newer than the one sugar-build installed. I'll look into this.
Then issues ocurred with gwebsockets. It persistently tried to use
python3.3, my system's default, instead of python2.7. Finally I found
the culprit, in
./out/sandbox/install/lib/python2.7/site-packages/osbuild/build.py I
replaced in line 190 one instance of "python" for "python2.7" and it
worked after that.
Finally when building sugar-base I had to set up the environment
variable PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.7 in order for it to build.
Also, when building sugar, I had to manually create the directory
"./out/install/etc/gconf/" or it would fail to install
I know this is unsupported but I just wanted to share in case somebody
would like to setup a dev environment in archlinux. I like that it's
rolling release and I won't have to worry about ever upgrading to the
next version. My main intention is to have a nice setup for building
activities, test latest sugar and also try to help diagnose the
performance issues gtk3 sugar has.
Regards,
Sebastian
