Access the read-only CVS source-code repository

Usage

To check-out a copy of the main 'dev' (development) trunk, type this:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@fscvs.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu:/usr/fscvsroot login

press Enter when prompted for the password (there isn't one). Then type:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@fscvs.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 stable4' before 'dev' in the second command, like this:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@fscvs.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu:/usr/fscvsroot checkout -r stable4 dev

Note that this will also create a directory named 'dev', so you should probably create a directory named 'stable4', 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.
