[edit] Installation from Source

There are two main ways of getting the source code, you can download a released version of Bongo as a "tarball" or you can get a copy of our source from the source code revision system.

In both cases, you need roughly the same development tools available.

[edit] Downloading releases

Releases are available from our Gna! repository:

http://download.gna.org/bongo/release/

The .tar.bz2 files are compressed archives of code. The .sig files are signatures of those archives, which you can use with GnuPG to check the validity of what you are downloading.

Building the code is simply a matter of unpacking the archive, running configure and then make. You may want to have a look at the instructions for building from SVN: that will walk you through the current process, which may be quite similar to the process for an older release too.

Dependencies change from release to release; if you have any trouble getting an older release to work but still want to run that version ask on our -devel mailing list.

[edit] Compiling from SVN

To check out the code, look at the instructions in source from SVN.
