Introduction

This a short guide that explain how build the Ardesia tool from the repository source code.

Get the source

Get the source code with the subversion tool. If you have not installed yet subversion, make this action with the package manager of the your operating system

In ubuntu simply run:

| $ sudo apt-get install subversion | |:----------------------------------|

Then get the code with the command:

| $ svn checkout http://ardesia.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ardesia-read-only | |:--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Install the dependencies

Install the following packages required for the compilation with the package manager of your operating system:

• gcc
• make
• automake
• autoconf
• intltool
• libtool
• libgtk-3-0
• libgtk-3-dev
• libatk1.0-0
• libatk1.0-dev
• libx11-6
• libx11-dev
• libpng12-0
• libpng12-dev
• libglib2.0-0
• libglib2.0-dev
• libgconf2-4
• libgconf2-dev
• libfontconfig1
• libfontconfig1-dev
• libfreetype6
• libfreetype6-dev
• libgsl0ldbl
• libgsl0-dev
• libc6
• libc6-dev
• libxml2-dev
• xdg-utils
• librsvg2-dev

If you are using ubuntu you can simply run this command:

| sudo apt-get install gcc make automake autoconf intltool libtool libxml2-dev libgsf-1-dev libgtk-3-dev libatk1.0-dev libx11-dev libpng12-dev libglib2.0-dev libgconf2-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libgsl0-dev libc6-dev xdg-utils librsvg2-dev | |:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

It is possible that this command works properly even for the others debian based distributions

Build

Enter in the source code folder

| $ cd ardesia-readonly/ardesia | |:------------------------------|

Now you can start to build the tool in the standard way:

| $./autogen.sh | |:--------------|

| $ make | |:-------|

Install

And then install Ardesia with the command:

| $ sudo make install | |:--------------------|

Run

Now you can start Ardesia in the Applications/Graphics menu

Rebuild

You can update the code with the new changes with the command

| $svn update | |:------------|

After this redo the Build step

Enjoy

The collaboration is the best practice
