 SVN - Bleeding edge development version

You can get both code and data from SVN using the following commands:

$ svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/boson/trunk/code code
$ svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/boson/trunk/data data
You need CMake for compilation. In both code/ and data/ directory, use these commands:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ su
# make install
When configuring fails, check whether you have all the software dependencies installed.
To stay up to date, you can update both code and data directories later on by executing
$ svn up
