Introduction
Instead of downloading the Wonder binaries, working from the latest source code directly can have some advantages such as:
- Ability to browse the source code and learn from the wisdom and experience of the WO committers
- Put breakpoints in and step through Wonder source when debugging your projects
- Provide opportunities to submit patches to bugs you might find in Wonder
- Add logging statements in Wonder source so you can better understand what is going when tracking down hard to find bugs
Downloading Wonder Source from CVS
- Decide on a directory where you will maintain the latest Wonder source tree on your hard drive. I have a directory '~/WonderLatest' in my home folder.
- Open a terminal shell and navigate to the directory
cd ~/WonderLatest
- Next perform initial checkout of Wonder source tree from CVS head using the following command. This creates a folder named Wonder
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@wonder.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wonder co -P Wonder
Build and Install Wonder
- Follow the "Building with Ant" instructions in the BUILD.txt document in the Wonder directory
