Hello! I've tried to build Sugar from source code from github repositories in order to start working on some bugs, but it just won't work.
I've done a couple of new clean installs of Fedora 27 in order to try different methods, but none worked. I've tried both sugar-build and manually cloning every repository and install every module as is pointed here: https://developer.sugarlabs.org/dev-environment.md.html [1]. Installing everything using sugar-build doesn't work. The python script crashes and I've tried to edit it, but I still didn't manage to get it working. The point is that sugar-build doesn't work as it is on Fedora 27. One of the reasons is webkitgtk3 which is not supported anymore by Fedora and which was removed from Fedora's repositories. I did manage to install every module one by one as shown at [1], I believe that's because Fedora 27 comes with webkitgtk4, I don't know why it didn't give an error again, maybe the modules have been individually updated to not ask for webkitgtk3 anymore. But even though I managed to install the modules, using Sugar DE doesn't work anymore after installing them. Logging in using Sugar does nothing but show a blank screen. Sugar-runner gives some errors related to the X server about not finding some symbols. I can't open a terminal from the blank screen or anything for that matter. Sugar DE works on a clean Fedora 27 installation though. I believe that there must be some sort of clash between the newer versions of the dependencies that are installed when building the project and Sugar DE. What can I do to start trying to fix bugs? I'm ready to install a different distro. What do you use ? Have you encountered these problems with Fedora? Thank you!
