How to compile

Compiling from source archive (tarball)

  1. Extract the archive to a temporary location:

    $ tar xfvjp salasaga-0.8.0.alpha2.tar.bz2
     
  2. Change into the directory that creates:

    $ cd salasaga-0.8.0.alpha2
     
  3. Run autoconf:

    $ autoconf
     
  4. Follow standard compilation steps:

    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ make install


Once the "make install" has finished, Salasaga should have been properly installed and be available from the Gnome menu (under Graphics).

Alternatively, you can launch Salasaga from the command line:

        $ salasaga

No errors should occur during compiling nor installation.
If they do occur, please let us know (it's important!).
 

Compiling from CVS

Note, this is for compiling and installing the modules for end use, rather than setting things up for working through Eclipse.

On unix based systems, you'll need to download the SVN modules "salasaga_screencapture" and "salasaga_ide".  For windows, you'll additionally need to get the SVN module "salasaga_keycapture".

  1. Inside each of these modules, run "autoconf":

    $ autoconf
     
  2. Then run "./configure":

    $ ./configure
     
  3. Then run "make":

    $ make
     
  4. Then "make install":

    $ make install

Voila, it should be usable.  You can either start the program from the Gnome menu under Graphics, or from the command line:

        $ salasaga
