I want sugar to be a lot easier to build from source. It’s slow and fragile right now and I suspect it’s one of the basic bottlenecks to contributions. I started by documenting what I would like it to be.
I worked on it during the weekend and achieved my first goal. It builds flawlessly on a clean Lucid virtual machine. It just required to merge the git modules, the various configure.ac and trivial changes to each module. As you might have guessed this is heavily inspired by Michael StoneĀ omnibus sugar repository, credits and thanks to him.
Goal for this week, make it actually run
