I just committed some spec-files in the spec-files-extra (SFE) for
building several Sugar components (SFEsugar.spec, SFEsugar-base.spec,
SFEsugar-toolkit.spec).  Sugar is a really neat desktop environment
that is used in the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) program.  It is a
great environment for kids, education, and interaction.  You can
learn more here:

However, it isn't really working yet on OpenSolaris.  Sugar
depends on a module called HippoDraw, a C++ module.  You can learn more
about HippoDraw here:

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HippoDraw

I also committed a spec-file to SFE for this called SFEhippodraw.spec,
but I can't seem to get it to fully build and install properly.  The
libraries build with missing symbols, and seem to be unusable.

If there are any C++ wizards out there who could help get this
to build properly, it would be great, and would help me work further
on getting Sugar working on OpenSolaris.

If you fix the spec-file, send me a diff of the changes (or instructions
on how you got it to build if you aren't spec-file savvy), and I'll
commit it to the SFE repository if you don't have write access.

Thanks,

Brian
