1. Installing Ringdove

Option #1: classic UNIX

Ringdove is a traditional UNIX software. The normal way to install it is installing each individual software from the suite, starting with librnd (as most others depend on it).

Major (Linux) distributions do have official packages, so something like apt-get install pcb-rnd may work out of the box. When installing from source, please refer to file INSTALL in each package for dependencies and instructions.

URLs for installing from source using stable release tarballs:

package links
librnd [web] [tarballs]
sch-rnd [web] [tarballs]
pcb-rnd [web] [tarballs]
route-rnd [web] [tarballs]
camv-rnd [web] [tarballs]

The latest (often unstable) development versions are available from VCS directly, using the following svn URLs:

package svn URL
librnd svn://svn.repo.hu/librnd/trunk
sch-rnd svn://svn.repo.hu/sch-rnd/trunk
pcb-rnd svn://svn.repo.hu/pcb-rnd/trunk
route-rnd svn://svn.repo.hu/route-rnd/trunk
camv-rnd svn://svn.repo.hu/camv-rnd/trunk

Option #2: the all-in-one script

The project called Ringdove is a script that attempts to download and install all the above. It's available from svn at svn://svn.repo.hu/ringdove/trunk or from tarballs.
