Attempting to build sugar (Between the work-times)
Written by on in Knight Errant, Tuxedo.


I've been taking breaks every little while to try to get the Sugar environment for the One Laptop Per Child project to build on Gentoo. So far this has just been a matter of having the system build lots of libraries. No big deal, it comes down to a single emerge command to get xulrunner and gtk-doc installed.

The problems start with the gecko-embed project. Running ./autogen.sh winds up failing with missing macro definitions. Running a few more times ./autogen.sh m4_pattern_allow and then bare ./autogen.sh gets me further along (i.e. configure starts), but then configure dies with this:

    You just need to add ACLOCAL_FLAGS="$ACLOCAL_FLAGS -I m4" to the autogen.sh file. Do not add --with-gecko=xulrunner or configure will fail!

    Oh! Ignore the not adding --with-gecko=xulrunner, i just forgot to emerge xulrunner.
