Of course you can download the latest stuff from CVS via anonymous login.

Login to CVS:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@lcdproc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lcdproc login</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>

<para>
|

Get the files from CVS:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@lcdproc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lcdproc checkout -r stable-0-5-x lcdproc</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Once you've done that and want to update the downloaded files to the latest stuff
|
|
you can use the "update" command of CVS (Make sure to be in the lcdproc directory.):
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>cvs update -d</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Now that once you have downloaded the files you can prepare them for
|
|
compiling, but first you should (you don't have to) copy them to another
|
|
place on your machine.
