Compiling and installing the source

Download the sources from GNU Backgammon sources. We try to put daily snapshots there. Be aware, that these sources may not compile!

Unzip and untar the sources and change into the source directory:

     #: tar -xzvf gnubg-[version].tar.gz
     #: cd gnubg-[version]
     

Copy at least the file gnubg.weights into the source directory. Then do a

     #: aclocal -I m4
     #: autoconf
     #: automake --add-missing
     #: ./configure
     #: make
     #: make install
     

The first three commands may not be necessary depending on your system. The command ./configure includes some options you may like to use. You can get all options with

     #: ./configure --help
