Fenfire is a Free Software project. Anyone is free to look into what we're doing. If the project vision attracts you, we welcome you to collaboration.
Official source code in Darcs repositories under http://himalia.it.jyu.fi/darcs: alph, callgl, depends, fenfire, libvob, navidoc, storm
Mailing lists: fenfire-dev for developers and users; fencommits for automatic notification of commits to the Darcs repositories
IRC discussion on channel #fenfire at Freenode servers (eg. irc.freenode.net) and discussion logs
We use Darcs for source code version control, so you should have it installed first. Programming language is mostly Java so you should have a suitable Java compiler and runtime installed, but there are optional pieces written in C, C++, Perl and Jython (Python running in Java) as well. We use the GNU Make to build the project, if you don't have it you'll have to type the compile and run commands yourself.
To get a fresh copy of the official repositories, "darcs get" each repository, for instance in shell:
for d in alph callgl depends fenfire libvob navidoc storm; do darcs get http://himalia.it.jyu.fi/darcs/$d ; done
To get updates, "darcs pull" in each repository, for instance:
for d in alph callgl depends fenfire libvob navidoc storm; do ( cd "$d" && darcs pull ) done
To compile Java code, "make" or "make java" in each directory in the order, for instance:
for d in navidoc storm alph libvob fenfire; do ( cd "$d" && make java ) done
To start the applications, "make run*" in some repository, for instance:
( cd fenfire && make run )
