7 Getting Libraries via SVN

If you didn’t get one of the snapshots, or if you want to be sure to stay on the bleading edge, then you should get the libraries via SVN. Go to http://www.gnustep.org/resources/sources.html for information on how to get the sourcecode.

If you haven’t already done so, change to the directory, where you want the source to reside. To checkout all of the GNUstep repository, type

svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules

To check out only the core, which contains all the GNUstep core libraries:

svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/modules/core

After you have checked out the source you can compile it as usual. To update the source, go into the directory of the source tree you want to update, for example, go into ’base’, and type:

svn update

You don’t have to re-checkout after you have the source, just update!
