,→Linux: wording, minor
Type this into a terminal:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxdcpp.berlios.de:/cvsroot/linuxdcpp login
(leave the password blank, press Enter)
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxdcpp.berlios.de:/cvsroot/linuxdcpp co linuxdcpp
Now you will have the current CVS checkout of the Linux DC++ client. It uses <tt>scons</tt> as its build system, not <tt>make</tt>, so you will probably need to install that (for example, using <tt>apt-get install scons</tt> or what have whatever other package manager youuse). To build it, you just issue this command:
scons
It will require a lot of development libraries. Big ones are the <tt>GTK+ header files</tt>, <tt>glade header files</tt>, and <tt>bzip2 </tt> header files. Normally for your distro this will be the package name with a <tt>-dev</tt> or <tt>-devel</tt> appended. For example, in Fedora Core (my distro of choice) I needed to , you would install the package <tt>gtk2-devel</tt> to get the GTK+ header files. As listed in the readme file, the dependencies are:
scons >= 0.96
pkg-config
Of course, the names of the packages will be different for your distro. If you need help finding out the names, try asking politely on IRC.
After build building the package you , there will have be an executable named <tt>linuxdcpp</tt> in your current working directory. Run it (e.g. with <tt>./linuxdcpp</tt>) and enjoy.
