Windows / MAC Installation
Windows
- download RepSnapper.exe here
- run RepSnapper using RepSnapper.exe (you will need OpenGL)
OS-X
David Buzz made a binary distribution, you can get it here: https://sites.google.com/site/davidbuzz/repsnapper-for-osx-binaries
(RepSnapper-01-09-2010.dmg at the bottom of the page)
Linux Installation
Dependancy Installation
Although RepSnapper is not generally tested outside of window/linux/mac you may be able to get it running on other OS's. To do so you will need the following (library package names are from packages in debian derived distributions, so names may differ from what is available in you OS):
- gcc and stuff
- OpenGL
- SVN
- libfltk1.1
- libfltk1.1-dev
- libglut3
- libglut3-dev
- libgtk2.0-dev
- libconfig++-dev
- libboost-thread-dev and libboost-system-dev (version 1.37 or higher)
Preparing a build Debian/Ubuntu
The libraries and other needed software (listed in the Dependancy Installation section above) can be found in most linux distros. Merely check linux readme after checking out the git, it gives clear examples with packages to install for Ubuntu.
To install the dependencies listed above on Ubuntu or any debian-based linux you can run the following from a command prompt:
sudo apt-get install build-essential fluid libgtk2.0-dev libfltk1.1 libfltk1.1-dev libglut3 libglut3-dev libconfig8++-dev libconfig8-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-system-dev
For my configuration (Jolicloud, an Ubuntu derivative):
sudo apt-get install build-essential fluid libgtk2.0-dev libfltk1.1-dev libglut3 libglut3-dev libboost-thread1.37-dev libboost-system1.37-dev
and some libconfig
For Ubuntu 10.04 and later use:
sudo apt-get install build-essential fluid libgtk2.0-dev libfltk1.1 libfltk1.1-dev libglut3 libglut3-dev libconfig++8-dev libconfig8-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-system-dev
RepSnapper Download
You can download the RepSnapper source using git: git clone git://github.com/timschmidt/repsnapper.git
RepSnapper Installation
cd repsnapper/src make clean make (If you get a file/directory does not exist error (e.g. if using ubuntu 10.04) try this:) cd RepSnapper/Libraries/xml/ make cd ../../Src/ make
OS-X Eclipse Project (development)
As a new feature RepSnapper now comes with an Eclipse Galileo(3.5) project.
Grab a svn client like kdesvn and start the download.
Grab the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers from the download page http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
Throw in an additional SVN plugin - Help | Install New Software...
- Subclipse - http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x
- Just take them all
Eclipse is Java and that means a svn wrapper. So shut down Eclipse and get it.
sudo apt-get install libsvn-java
Ubuntu users may wish to open the System|Administration|Synaptic Package Manager and do a quick search for libsvn instead as that will ensure Eclipse can find it.
When the donwload is complete enter the Eclipse folder in the repository and read the Readme.txt for last minute instructions.
At some point you'll need to reboot, so if you haven't done it before do it now.
Notice that while you downloaded the code with kdesvn you can now use svn directly from eclipse.
The build all works and so does the run and debug functionality, enjoy.
