[Sugar-devel] Help in modifying sugar for testing

[James Cameron]

Yes, that's a problem I've seen before, and I reproduced it just now.

Sugar Live Build includes /usr/src/sugar which is a clone of the Sugar
repository, not a tarball.  When autogen, make and make install are
run, the files are placed in site-packages, not dist-packages.

site-packages is logically correct, but Debian does not look at
site-packages when it runs Sugar.

During build, we have a special step after make install;
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-live-build/blob/master/src/config/hooks/normal/0900-sugar.hook.chroot#L42

So in addition to make install, you should also do;

rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/jarabe/
mv /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/jarabe /usr/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/

I've no explanation for "make: nothing to be done for 'main.py", the
message makes no sense to me.  I don't see it when I test.
