Check out projects: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:45, 20 April 2010

Before checking out a project, be sure that your development environment is set up for $G.

$G uses CVS for source control and you can read more about it on its official site or on Wikipedia.

So, for example, if your user id is "goo" and you wanted to check out the "wrist" project, you should type:

   > mkdir  /map/gfx0/users/goo
   > cd     /map/gfx0/users/goo
   > cvs  co  project/wrist        # Creates:  /map/gfx0/users/goo/project/wrist/...

Please do not waste space and retain only the files you need. When you are done with your account please be sure to delete it.

Type "make all" to build a project. Continuing the wrist project example from above, you would type:

   > cd  /map/gfx0/users/foo/project/wrist
   > make  all

By convention simple projects that build a single program or library can be built just by typing "make".
