I'm assuming you're using bash as shell (if not, type bash <enter> before following the procedure below):
(Place yourself somewhere appropriate): #cd /usr/src (tells cvs where to find the source and how to fetch it): #CVS_RSH=ssh #[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs #export CVS_RSH CVSROOT (fetch the source, use compression (z3) to save bandwidth) #checkout -z3 xc ^^^^^^ Password is: anoncvs ^^^^^ (when you have the source): #cd xc #make World &> world.log (remember uppercase W) #make install &> install.log (need root privilegies to install the files) Furthermore you might need to examine the logfiles in order to find out if any problems occured during build/install. For instance: make install requires a c++ compiler, so if you havn't got that installed, make install will fail. Hope this helps.
