a) Do a fresh checkout using the command
- cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.wxwidgets.org:/packs/cvsroots/wxwidgets co wxGTK
-
- NB: if you realize later that some needed files were not checked out
- by this command, please modify CVSROOT/modules to include the missing
- files so that it works for the next release!
-
- You also need the samples, demos and contrib directories, so change to
- wxWidgets directory created by the first cvs command and do "cvs up -d"
- for each of them. Of course, you can also check out everything (use
- wxWidgets module name instead of wxGTK) if the bandwidth and disk space
- are not a problem.
+ svn checkout http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk wxWidgets
b) Create a build directory under wxWidgets, e.g. I use "gtk-release",
"cd" to it and run configure: the options don't really matter, you can use
4. Uploading the files
