Assuming you downloaded the source archive, there are build instructions 
in the file README.TXT.

There are source archives which do not contain this file. Or at least not a 
README with installation instructions. You should look for that file on a ftp 
mirror. I found it in the same dir as the source tar.gz

Sorry, we have not put up a release with that file in it. You
will have to look at the mailing list archive.

Hi, 

I'm trying to download Source Navigator 4.5.2 from ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/sourcenav/releases/ but it seems that you need a username and a password. How do I get that?

There is no password, that box shows in Netscape when there
are too many FTP users (I know, it is strange).

Use a mirror site and the problem should go away.

Are there any plans for changing snavigator's distribution policy?

You current policy is pretty annoying (ftp almost permantently
unreachable - at least I haven't manage to access it, ever), only
full 10MB-tarballs, no CVS, no diffs, no frequent bug fixes.

Sorry, if this may sound like ranting, but it's definitely not
indented to be regarded as such.

diffs have been provided in the past.  The diffs from 4.5.2 to 5.0 are
probably much too big to be useful.  

CVS would be nice, of course---I don't know why that's not available
yet.  Perhaps this is still waiting on migration of Insight and Source
Navigator to Tcl/Tk 8.3, and [incr Tcl] 3.2?

There was some talk of turning FTP access off completely and
only allow mirror sites.

You are talking about two different things here. Use a mirror
site to get a source release. As far as bug fixes go, there
are not many of them since not a lot of them have been fixed
recently. You can look at the individual bug reports to see
if a patch has been posted. Some are fixed already and will
be incorporated into the next release. In the future, we
will have CVS up and running.

[Michael Still]

Ben,

discovered that SN is released and downloaded it. I am not sure it is
ready for prime time yet though... I had to hack a TCL source file to
get it to compile and the snavigator directory have exciting things like
the AUTHORS file contains the text "AUTHORS". The same for the README
file as well. I haven't checked any others...

Because the README file is empty, I don't know who to tell about this
sort of thing... Any ideas? I _think_ the address I grabbed above with
work, but it is not clear...

Hi Michael,

   discovered that SN is released and downloaded it. I am not sure it is
   ready for prime time yet though... I had to hack a TCL source file to
   get it to compile and the snavigator directory have exciting things
   like the AUTHORS file contains the text "AUTHORS". The same for the
   README file as well. I haven't checked any others...

The AUTHOR and README files were generated by Automake with their current
contents.  I know it's not very helpful; the best place to reach people
about S-N problems is on this mailing list (sourcenav@).

If you like, send in a brief log showing the compilation error.  We've never
built S-N on SPARC Linux before.

The README inside snavigator is the current one. The toplevel files are 
common to all Cygnus-based projects.

Re: Source navigator

Syd,

thanks for your reply. Perhaps I am confused. I have attached the Authors and
Readme files from the snavigator directory... I have also attached the config.log
file for the tcl8.1 sub directory (which is the one I had to change). The file I
edited was tclPosixStr.c. The diff of the changed copy is attached.

A uname -a of my system gives Linux sparc10 2.2.14-5.0-smp #1 SMP Tue Mar 7
20:26:12 EST 2000 sparc unknown, which is a Sparc Redhat 6.1 box.

Re: Source navigator

[Syd Polk]

No, it was me who is confused.

The real README lives in snavigator/install, and gets copied to the 
toplevel by "make install".

There is a real version of the patch below living around here somewhere 
which I will have to scrounge up.
