Access the read-only CVS source-code repository
Firstly, make sure that you read the license terms. Basically, the source can be used only for non-commercial and non-clinical applications.
To check-out a copy of the main 'dev' (development) trunk, type this:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@fsvm.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu:/usr/fscvsroot login
press Enter when prompted for the password (there isn't one). Then type:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@fsvm.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu:/usr/fscvsroot checkout dev
This will begin the download of the source-code trunk, creating a directory named 'dev'.
To get a copy of the current 'stable' branch (the code used to build the public release), insert '-r stable5' before 'dev' in the second command, like this:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@fsvm.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu:/usr/fscvsroot checkout -r stable5 dev
Note that this will also create a directory named 'dev', so you should probably create a directory named 'stable5', cd to that, and then do the checkout.
Build instructions are found in the DevelopersGuide, but in any case, you will first need to type this:
cd dev ./setup_configure
which will setup the autoconf and automake files for your platform. You need only do this once (or whenever you change configure.in).
The DevelopersGuide will describe how to need to configure, make, and make install.
Remember that cvs will cache the location of CVSROOT (the 'pserver' string from above), so to perform an update, you need only type:
cvs update -d
