Hello,<br>
My machine is somewhat constrained in ram and diskspace so running
Fedora on a chroot was slow enough<br>
that I decided to set <b>"use_broot":false</b> on <b>prefs.json</b>
with the intention of running the latest sugar natively.<br>
<br>
I face a few issues:<br>
<br>
First, <i>automake</i> gave me some issues, it was refusing to
build with a cryptic error, it was because I needed to install the <b>ccache</b>
package. Then, automake wanted to install to /usr/local/bin, so I
changed group permissions to /usr/local (I did chgrp wheel
/usr/local/*;; chmod g+w /usr/local/*). This installed automake. <br>
By the way, I don't think this process was required because my
system's automake is newer than the one sugar-build installed. I'll
look into this.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If you are not hacking sugar core a lot you could just get rid of that module in modules.json. The only r,eason we are building it is that we applied a patch to make python installation quicker, which is very handy when hacking the core modules. We need to find a better solution at some point...<br>

Then issues ocurred with gwebsockets. It persistently tried to use
python3.3, my system's default, instead of python2.7. Finally I
found the culprit, in
./out/sandbox/install/lib/python2.7/site-packages/osbuild/build.py I
replaced in line 190 one instance of "python" for "python2.7" and it
worked after that.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks, pushed that change. <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Finally when building sugar-base I had to set up the environment
variable PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.7 in order for it to build.<br></div></blockquote><div><br>In sugar-toolkit-gtk3 we have<br><br>PYTHON=python2<br>AM_PATH_PYTHON<br><br><div>I don't remember why python2 instead of python2.7 but I think that was probably what the python documentation suggested..<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>I think we should do the same in sugar-base. I don't think I have write access to that repo, but if you make that change and test it in archlinux, consider it reviewed :)<br></div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
Also, when building sugar, I had to manually create the directory
"./out/install/etc/gconf/" or it would fail to install<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Can I see the output? It seems like something we should fix.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

I know this is unsupported but I just wanted to share in case
somebody would like to setup a dev environment in archlinux. I like
that it's rolling release and I won't have to worry about ever
upgrading to the next version. My main intention is to have a nice
setup for building activities, test latest sugar and also try to
help diagnose the performance issues gtk3 sugar has.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It's unsupported because it's unlikely to work out-of-the-box. But if anyone wants to try it on the latest version of a distro and do the kind of analysis you have been doing, then it's very useful feedback, because it's likely to find bugs, as we have been seeing here.<br>
