Instructions to get (and compile) the sources from the GNOME CVS
-
Login to the anonymous GNOME CVS server. You'll be prompted for a password, but there is no password (since you are anonymous). Just press enter and you will be given access.
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome login
-
Checkout mlview sources. This will create a directory called mlview in your current working directory.
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome co mlview
-
Enter the mlview directory.
cd mlview
-
Run the autogen shell script. This script checks dependencies (we should really list them here to avoid questions later :) and generates the makefiles.
./autogen.sh
-
Run make to build MlView.
make
-
Change to root user for the installation.
Type your root password when asked. MlView will be installed in the /usr/local/ directory.su -c "make install"
-
Run MlView
mlv
