16 Compiling and Installing the Sources

16.1 Get the Sources

16.1.1 Get the Tarball

You can download SVN trunk tarballs via the webSVN frontend:
http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/svn/svnbrowse.php?repname=powersave

16.1.2 Get the SVN Sources:

svn checkout svn+ssh://anonymous@forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/powersave/trunk
When prompted for the password, enter "anonymous". You currently have to enter this twice, once for ssh and once for subversion.
The module you wish to check out must be specified as modulename (either 'powersave', 'kpowersave' or 'wmpowersave'). When prompted for the password, simply enter "anonymous".

We'll try to let trunk stay in good shape all the time but well, you never know. Tell us if you find bugs or have problems compiling.

16.2 Compiling

In the powersave directory do:

  1. autoreconf -fi
    ./configure --prefix=/usr
    (./configure --help gives further instructions (recommended))
  2. If no error occurs type "make"
  3. change the user to root (su root) and type "make install"

16.3 Needed Packages for Compiling
