Access the read-only CVS source-code repository
First, register to receive the password to this repository. This registration form includes the license terms. Note: tkmedit, tksurfer and tkregister2 are covered under the CorTechs license.
You will need about 7GB of disk space, and the download will likely take several hours.
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
You will supply the password received via email after completing the registration form. Then type:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@fsvm.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu:/usr/fscvsroot checkout -P dev
This will begin the download of the source-code trunk, creating a directory named 'dev'. The -P flag will purge the junk files that have been deleted from the repository over the years.
To get a copy of the current 'stable' branch (the code used to build the public release but that has been internally updated with bug fixes), insert '-r stable5' before 'dev' in the second command, like this:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@fsvm.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu:/usr/fscvsroot checkout -P -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.
If you need the version used in the 5.1 public release, then use 'release_5_1_0' as the revision tag (instead of 'stable5').
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
