[Edward Cherlin]

I'm trying to build sugar on Debian Testing, and getting similar results.

Yes. also ./sugar-jhbuild sanitycheck

Missing external dependencies:

gstreamer-0.10 0.10
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 0.10
fribidi
libgsf-1
enchant
nspr
gconf-2.0

Install the packages from your distribution which provides these
functionalities, including the development package for libraries.
Missing dependencies:

    python (headers)
    avahi (python module)
    rsvg (python module)
    wnck (python module)
    glib-2.0 2.12
    gtk+-2.0 2.10
    pygtk-2.0 2.10
    pycairo 1.2
    dbus-1 1.0
    xulrunner/firefox 1.8/1.9

Install the packages from your distribution which provides these
functionalities, including the development package for libraries.
If one or more of the packages (and versions) are not provided by your
distribution you can build them from sources, using this command:
    sugar-jhbuild build-base

Many of these packages do not occur with these names in the Debian
repositories I have tried. For example, i have various libgtk packages
installed, but there is none called gtk+. Similarly with libglib,
libavahi-glib, libfribidi0, python-pyfribidi, and the rest. So I don't
know whether any of these are what is required, nor how to get them to
work. Is any of this in Unstable?
