If you wish to get the latest mnoGoSearch source tree, you can obtain it
through anonymous CVS. Please note that the CVS version
is a development version, and as such, is often unstable,
and may not even compile properly. The advantage of using CVS,
however, is that you can get the latest fixes and updates,
without having to wait for the official releases.

You can find more information about CVS, and download clients for
most major platforms, at CVShome.org.

All the necessary utilities (autoconf, automake, libtool) to build
working copy of mnoGoSearch from CVS tree can be obtained from
the GNU FTP site.

It is recommended that you configure CVS by putting the following lines
in your ~/.cvsrc file:

cvs -z3
update -d -P
checkout -P
diff -u

Log in to the mnoGoSearch anonymous CVS server. Use cvs as the password.
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.mnogosearch.org:/usr/home/bar/cvsroot login

Obtain the mnoGoSearch-3.3.x CVS tree:
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.mnogosearch.org:/usr/home/bar/cvsroot co mnogosearch32

To compile the latest version of mnoGoSearch from the CVS, do the following:

1. Make sure you have autoconf 2.53 or newer, automake 1.5 or newer and
libtool 1.3.4 or newer.

2. Run the following commands:

 # export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@cvs.mnogosearch.org:/usr/home/bar/cvsroot
 # cvs login  (type cvs when asked for password)
 # cvs co mnogosearch32
 # cd mnogosearch32
 # ./bootstrap
 # ./configure (with your parameters, see README and ./configure --help)
 # make
 # make install
