XMMS now has a CVS server from where you can download the latest
development version. It's rather easy to use.


The following tools and libraries are needed to compile XMMS from CVS:

Gtk+ 1.2.2 or greater:
	ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/

automake 1.4-p1 or greater:
	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake/

autoconf 2.13 or greater:
	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/autoconf/

gettext 0.10.35 or greater:
	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gettext/


CVS, first of all if your system lacks CVS, download it from:

	http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/

Once you've made sure that CVS is on your system, you can
use it to "check out" the repository to your own local copy:

	cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.xmms.org:/cvs co xmms

Just hit enter when it asks for the password. Please use the -z3 option
to minimize network bandwidth (-z9 eats too much CPU time, please don't
use it).

Once the checkout is completed, cd xmms/ and then run ./autogen.sh to
create the configure script. Once autogen is completed run make and
make install to compile and install XMMS.

If you want to update your source tree with the latest changes simply run
'cvs -z3 update -Pd' inside the source tree and do as described above.

Tar-balled snapshots of the CVS are available at:

Thanks for using XMMS.
