This memo is for those of you who are interested in downloading the latest *development* version of Jmol.
In summary: - use 'cvs checkout' to extract the Jmol project to your local system - the binaries JmolApplet.jar and jmol.jar are included - subsequently, you can use 'cvs update' to update your local copy More detail: Using the cvs (Concurrent Versions System) software, you extract the latest source code + binaries from sourceforge. cvs is *the* version control system for opensource development. Different systems have different versions of cvs. - For MacOSX, cvs is included on the developer tools cd. - For Linux, install the cvs package - For Win32 + cygwin ... just like Linux - For Win32 ... I don't know ... never done it For more information on cvs go to: http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html http://cvshome.org The FIRST time -------------- Go to some directory that you like. We are going to create a subdirectory under you called Jmol-HEAD cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/jmol login cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/jmol co -d Jmol-HEAD Jmol 'co' stands for 'checkout' '-d Jmol-HEAD' says create a directory called Jmol-HEAD 'Jmol' is the name of the project (The developers use Jmol-HEAD, so we suggest that you use the same) The application is Jmol-HEAD/jmol.jar The applet is Jmol-HEAD/JmolApplet.jar They *should* always be up to date ... but this is the development version and it might be broken ... caveat emptor. The 2nd, 3rd, ... times ----------------------- Now, you are going to do a 'cvs update' from within the Jmol-HEAD directory. cvs knows which repository this came from, so you don't need to login again cd your-favorite-path-to/Jmol-HEAD cvs up -dP 'up' stands for 'update' '-dP' says 'look for new directories and Prune unused stuff' Should be all you need. Let me know if I forgot something. Miguel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.
