Thanks for the tips :) We should definitely put a link in the docs <div class="gmail_quote">On Mar 9, 2014 2:07 PM, "Sebastian Silva" <<a href="mailto:sebastian@fuentelibre.org">sebastian@fuentelibre.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hello, My machine is somewhat constrained in ram and diskspace so running Fedora on a chroot was slow enough that I decided to set "use_broot":false on prefs.json with the intention of running the latest sugar natively. I face a few issues: First, automake gave me some issues, it was refusing to build with a cryptic error, it was because I needed to install the ccache 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. 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. 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. Finally when building sugar-base I had to set up the environment variable PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.7 in order for it to build. Also, when building sugar, I had to manually create the directory "./out/install/etc/gconf/" or it would fail to install 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.
