===Some tips===
A useful sequence of commands for building Sugar, from the [http://mailman.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2007-February/001352.html Sugar mailing list]: (Note that build will update first anyway, so run update separately if you want to see what changed more easily.)
./sugar-jhbuild update
./sugar-jhbuild build -a --clean
./sugar-jhbuild run
The use of -a and --clean flags are needed when a file is removed so that autogen.sh is run. '''Note:''' Some packages, e.g., squeak and etoys, don't have a ''make clean''. Just ignore the error.
=== known issue with hulahop ===
* hulahop stopped building because I had installed a more recent version of xulrunner on my machine. The workaround was to <code>rm -rf ~/sugar-jhbuild/source/hulahop</code> and then run update and build again.

*25 Aug 9: hulahop doesnt' build correctly. http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2009-August/018540.html The 'fix' is running autoconf.

=== If build breaks after an update ===
The packages in sugar-jhbuild are the latest development versions, so you not only get the latest features, but also the latest breakages. The dependencies may change often, too, so be sure to run
./sugar-jhbuild depscheck
regularly and install the missing packages.
If your problem persists for more than a day (and even though you installed all missing packages), please [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/newticket?component=sugar-jhbuild&version=Git%20as%20of%20bugdate&type=defect&summary=%3cPlease%20enter%20short%20summary%20of%20your%20problem%20here%3e&description=%3cplease%20copy%20exact%20error%20message%20and%20additional%20information%20here%3e file a bug report].
