Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Sources
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AutoWikiBrowser is licensed under the GPL (see the license file). To get the sources, you need read access to the sourceforge SVN server with a SVN client program.
If you would like to use the latest source release, TortoiseSVN is recommended software, and a quick guide for which is included below.
After installing TortoiseSVN, create a folder AWB (or whatever name you prefer) and right click in the folder, and select "SVN Checkout...". In the dialog window that appears (titled "Checkout") enter https://autowikibrowser.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/autowikibrowser for the field URL of Repository. Check that the directory beneath is correct. You should then get the sources from the Sourceforge SVN server. When new sources become available execute "SVN Update" from the context menu of your AWB folder. You are not automatically notified of new versions, if you use AWB on a regular basis, and want to use the source version, check this daily, and build a new release version if there are changes. That way you are up to date with all bug fixes and new features.
Please note that you cannot commit sources back to the sourceforge server by using this method (this is called "anonymous access" or "anon access" for short). You would need to be registered as a project developer for this.
When you execute a "SVN Update", the software will download a change list, and then check the files that are present in the AWB folder, before downloading any new or updated files that may be needed.
If you would like to use the sources to run the latest source version, you will need to compile these yourself. You will need a copy of Microsoft Visual C# Express Edition, or a more complete version of the Visual Studio 2005 suite, such as Professional. Visual Studio 2008 also works - a project file for that version is included. Browse to the second AWB folder, and run the Visual Studio Solution. When the IDE has loaded, select release rather than debug (next to the green forward arrow). On the solution explorer on the right hand side, right click on the solution, and select build solution. Visual Studio will now turn the source files into the required files to run AWB and IRC monitor. Back in the AWB folder, browse to bin\release, and copy AutoWikiBrowser.exe and WikiFunctions.dll from the folder to where you run AWB from. Go back up 3 levels, and open the IRCmonitor\bin\release and copy IRCMonitor.exe to the directory with the AWB you run.
If you have command line SVN installed on your pc, it is as simple as typing svn co https://autowikibrowser.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/autowikibrowser
That would put it in a folder called autowikibrowser in the default location. If you wanted to specify a location to copy it to, you would append the command with the location, e.g. svn co https://autowikibrowser.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/autowikibrowser d:\pathtofile
You can view all SVN changes in the SVN Revision Log.
If you would like to use more up to date SVN versions, but are unable to build your own versions, User:Reedy (an AWB Developer), uploads periodic SVN release snapshots to here.
