Supported versions

Currently squeeze (testing) and sid (unstable) are supported.

Prerequites

In order to install sugar-jhbuild, you need to install git-core, lsb-release, python and subversion:

aptitude install git-core lsb-release python subversion

Installing dependencies

After installing and updating sugar-jhbuild according to the common instructions, you can use this invocation to install all dependencies automatically:

./sugar-jhbuild depscheck -s | sudo xargs aptitude -y install

Fixing RPATH

To work around a bug in the Gnome Python bindings, you need to issue the following commands after installing all dependencies:

sudo aptitude install chrpath
find /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.*/gtk-2.0 -name "*.so" | sudo xargs chrpath -d

Install xulrunner

With Debian testing ("squeeze"), you should install xulrunner and xulrunner-dev for mozilla to compile correctly (xulrunner-1.9 is not enough).

 apt-get install xulrunner xulrunner-dev
