SVN Developer Info

This is a short overview over SVN intended for DUNE developers. For further information on the tool chain have a look at the Buildsystem Howto.

SVN repository access

Both anonymous checkout and read/write access are all via the same url:
https://svn.dune-project.org/svn/dune-XXXX/ (see Download)

Building DUNE

Each module contains a dune.module file, which describes the modules dependencies. In dune-common one can find a script dunecontrol, which reads the dependency files and builds all modules in the approriate order.

checkout all modules into the same directory.
run ./dune-common/bin/dunecontrol all. This will run autogen.sh, configure and make for each module.
