Compile From Source

Windows

There is a guide located here: MSVC Install

Linux: From Sources

Build Guides

The following guides are intended for those of you wishing to compile from scratch. Its a good place to start if you want to do an optimized build at some point or want to get started with development.

• Generic Guide - Use if your distro is not listed or its compiling guide is not complete.\
• Ubuntu Hardy
• Ubuntu Gutsy
• Gentoo - not finished
• Fedora - not finished
• SuSE - not finished

Autobuilder Script

There is an auto-build script running. It uses the build script used in the next section. It announces new successful builds on the #peragro IRC channel. The produced archives contain pre-built binaries (currently only for Linux/x86) including SVN sources and are located here. The archives are somewhat huge because nearly every dependency is included, but you may use them to instantly start development. For downloads and updates, you may use the corresponding rsync service which always provides the latest successful build in unpacked form. Use the following command to download/update:

rsync -avzP --del rsync://rsync.peragro.org/peragro/peragro-linux-x86 .

For updates, it is recommended to use "./update.sh" included with the build distribution. The previous command requires some knowledge about rsync to be efficiently used for updates.

Build Script

This script is packed into the archives located here.
