Installation

Using tarballs

You need:
- boson-code-XXX.tar.bz2
- boson-data-XXX.tar.bz2
- boson-music-XXX.tar.bz2 (optional)

You can also fetch boson-all-XXX.tar.bz2 which contains just everything.

Now you have to do that for every package:

    tar xjvf boson-YYY-XXX.tar.bz2
    cd "package_name"
    ./configure
    make
    su -c "make install"

Using CVS

CVS login:

    export CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@cvs.boson.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boson"
    cvs login

Please just press the Enter key when you are prompted for a password.
Now you can checkout the source.

    cvs -z3 co -P code
    cvs -z3 co -P data
    cvs -z3 co -P tools

Compilation of code:

    cd code && ln -s ../tools/admin admin
    make -f Makefile.cvs
    ./configure
    make
    su -c "make install"

Compilation of data:

    cd data && ln -s ../tools/admin admin
    make -f Makefile.cvs
    ./configure
    make
    su -c "make install"

RPM / binary releases

There are rpm packages available on our File Release site on SourceForge.
They are inofficial because we don't test them.
If you feel like building a RPM for boson (for any platform), we'll be happy to put a link here and/or add them to our site.
