[bpt/guile.git] / README.CVS
1 When Guile is obtained from CVS, a few extra steps must be taken
2 before the usual configure, make, make install. You will need to have
3 up-to-date versions of the tools listed in HACKING (see below),
4 correctly installed. i.e., they must be found in the current PATH and
5 not shadowed or otherwise broken by files left behind from other
6 versions.
7
8 "up-to-date" means the latest released versions at the time that Guile
9 was obtained from CVS. Sometimes older or newer versions will work.
10
11 In addition to the guile/guile-core module that holds the main
12 sources, you also need the two modules guile/guile-scripts and
13 guile/workbook. For example, you can use this command to check out
14 all three modules:
15
16 $ cvs -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/guile \
17 co guile/guile-core guile/guile-scripts guile/workbook
18
19 Then you must run the autogen.sh script in guile/guile-core:
20
21 $ cd guile/guile-core
22 $ ./autogen.sh
23
24 For more information about hacking Guile and some troubleshooting
25 hints, see the file HACKING. It can be found in guile/guile-core and
26 guile/workbook/build/dist-files/.
