...is mostly complete: http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Building_the_Code
The goal is to introduce students to a typical build process. The problem, of course, is that builds have some fundamental similarities, but every piece of software has its own idiosyncracies, and it's difficult to plan for all of them. The chapter basically walks through a build of Freeciv. It's instructive, it's fun, and at the end, the student has a game to play, w00t. The goal of the chapter is really to prepare the students for building the code in whatever open source project they've selected, and exercises should at this point begin to focus on the particular projects. Feedback and patches gratefully accepted. Next chapter on the plate for me: "Debugging the Code". --g -- Educational materials should be high-quality, collaborative, and free.
