Is there anyone available to help me get started building Sugar on ubuntu dapper? So far I haven't been able to manage to "sudo apt-get install python-avahi"; if I try this, I always get "E: Couldn't find package python-avahi". All other packages from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_on_Ubuntu_Linux installed okay (after messing with /etc/apt/sources.list; I don't really know what this is, but pasting output from the source-o-matic in the front made other problems go away).
If I ignore this, running ./sugar-jhbuild after the git-clone command gives me this: """ Checking dependencies... Missing dependencies: avahi (python module) rsvg (python module) wnck (python module) glib-2.0 2.12 gtk+-2.0 2.10 pygtk-2.0 2.10 pycairo 1.2 dbus-1 1.0 dbus-python 0.80 Install the packages from your distribution which provides these functionalities, including the development package for libraries. If one or more of the packages (and versions) are not provided by your distribution you can build them from sources, using this command: sugar-jhbuild build-base """ Following the advice in that message and running the latter command fails building many packages including fontconfig, hence cairo, and many others. Details at request; I'll happily take this offline but I've got to start somewhere... -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/sugar
