[Tuxpaint-users] Build of Tux Paint CVS

[Pere P. i C. <per...@gm...>]

Hi all!

To any of you wanting to see what is in latest CVS development or
wanting to help test and debug it, here are some instructions on how to
compile Tux Paint

Linux Debian/Ubuntu
(lines beginning with # mean that you need admin rights, lines beginning
with $ mean that you should run as plain user.
Start a terminal, usually under apps->accessories
 
# apt-get build-dep tuxpaint cvs

To get the source code:
$ cvs
-d:pserver:ano...@tu...:/cvsroot/tuxpaint
login

Hit Enter as password


$ cvs -z3
-d:pserver:ano...@tu...:/cvsroot/tuxpaint co
-P tuxpaint

$ cvs -z3
-d:pserver:ano...@tu...:/cvsroot/tuxpaint co
-P tuxpaint-config

$ cvs -z3
-d:pserver:ano...@tu...:/cvsroot/tuxpaint co
-P tuxpaint-stamps



To compile and install the program and the stamps:
$ cd tuxpaint
$ make
$ su -c"make install"   or in Ubuntu $ sudo make install
$ cd ..

Most likely the "make" step will throw some errors about missing
packages, you should apt-get install them.

$ cd tuxpaint-config
$ make
$ su -c"make install"   or in Ubuntu $ sudo make install
$ cd ..

$ cd tuxpaint-stamps
$ make install-all

That's all, you can run /usr/local/bin/tuxpaint-config
and /usr/local/bin/tuxpaint and test them.


Windows
There are excellent instructions for compiling Tux Paint for Windows at
http://www.johnnypops.co.uk/tuxpaint/index.html plus he provides
pre-compiled libraries that allows to set up things quickly.

Anyway, if you just want to test Tux Paint, I've created a Windows build
of Tux paint as it was at the beginning of June, distributed as a CD iso
that contains the source code and the Windows build, there is a patch
applied that allows to save/load to dirs that have non-ascii chars in
their path, has all the stamps already installed, and libsdl is updated
to 1.2.15
Use a bittorrent client to download, then burn to a CD and decompress
the .zip file that is inside of the Win32 dir to somewhere on your PC
then run the tuxpaint-config.exe and tuxpaint.exe inside this directory,
or create a shortcurt.
