My sugar development setup
In my previous attempt I installed Fedora18 in a virtualbox vm.
This time, I switched from Fedora18 to Fedora19 because it is not necessary to build webkitgtk nor node.js to build sugar environment.
VM creation
The F19 box is a standard one. I added "Development Tools" and python-devel to default packages.
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo yum install python-devel.i686
I couldn't run Gnome desktop. I got a crash notification screen every
time gdm tried to start.
I simply ignore this error and worked throw a ssh connection. Last time
I ran in init 3 and launched Xorg manually but I had some weird
issues with dbus and NetworkManager.
Sugar build
The next steps are documented in Sugar Labs development documentation.
git clone git://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-build.git
cd sugar-build
And finally, I launched the build process.
./osbuild build
This command configured the environment installing 250 yum packages.
After that, it pulled and built only 30 git repositories.
Instead of several hours, I only need 30 minutes to complete the build process.
Sugar run
./osbuild run
Great!
