[Sugar-devel] Need help with setting up development environment on ubuntu

[D. Joe]

A search of Ubuntu's packages via their package web interface

  https://packages.ubuntu.com/intltool

shows intltool seems to be a thing.

You can install it, amongst other ways, via

  sudo apt-get install intltool

I don't know if that will be sufficient, or if you'll need to add additional packages.

Generally when developing for Debian or Ubuntu, I start with

  sudo apt-get install build-essential

with build-essential being a meta package that brings in a lot of build dependencies. You may already have them, their having been brought in as dependencies some other way, but it probably wouldn't hurt much.

If you have other tools not found, you may be able to resolve the problem through a similar search as the first one.

Please do continue to report problems, including opening issues if there is something missing from the documentation.
