Add Missing dependency intltool

[srevinsaju]

Dependency intltool was missing from Documentation

[Aniket21mathur]

I don't think explicitly defining intltool as a dependency is a good idea. It gets installed once you build dependencies for sugar. Though I will like to know what others think.

What is the error that you got?

[aperezbios]

I completely disagree. All build dependencies should be explicitly laid out. Nothing should be assumed, including in this case.

@Aniket21mathur This is the error: intltoolize: command not found

Thanks. I agree with both @Aniket21mathur and @aperezbios. Please complete the list of dependencies before making a commit. See my comment in https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/issues/884.

Thanks, noted. Clearly indicates that the dependencies are not built before installing. Please build before installing. :-)

Seems like I have got the list of rudimentary dependencies required for running sugar on any platform:

• espeak
• gtksoureview3
• gvfs
• libwnck3 or libwnck
• libxklavier
• metacity
• openssh
• telepathy-mission-control
• cairo
• python-cairo
• pygame
• python-xapian
• python-gobject (Arch and other pacman based) python-gi (Ubuntu / Fedora)
• python-dbus
• gtk2
• python-dateutil
• icon-naming-utils
• python-decorator
• telepathy-gabble
• telepathy-salut
• upower
• webkitgtk2
• xdg-user-dirs
• python-six
• libsm
• unzip
• alsa-lib
• xorg-xcursorgen

Looking forward for comments and corrections, I will add on if more are found. Please review @quozl @aperezbios

Thanks.

But that looks like an Arch list, and it is not correct for Debian or Fedora. If we're going to maintain them, the dependencies must be listed in a form that is not distribution specific. I said this earlier in https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/issues/884.

They also have to form part of the commit, not as a pull request comment.

You can find the downstream dependencies on Fedora by looking at the .spec file, and on Ubuntu by looking at the debian/control file.

We used to maintain platform components as a set of dependencies of Sugar and assumed to be present dependencies for activities. That effort died.

[srevinsaju]

should the list be something like this https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Install_the_dependencies

[quozl]

No. Like our previous platform components page, using the formal project name for each dependency. After that we could add distribution-specific package names, but those names rarely match the formal project name. Also, the formal project names rarely change, but distributions often change the package name from release to release.

Hi Kota, you should take a look at our contributing guide which should answer some of your questions, if you have anymore you can send them to the sugar-devel mailing list. Hope that helps!
