Spinner
has been made using the Debian GNU/Linux operating
system and get be get to work with a minimum of effort for the
versions Sarge and Etch, or other linux distro's based on Debian. It
depends on the boost libraries, version 1.32 or 1.33, and compiles
with g++ versions 4.0 and 3.6. It should be easy to install
spinner
on any system where these programs are installed.
Install all boost libraries, and thier -dev development headers. Install g++
Then proceed as follows:
tar -xvzf spinner.tar.gz cd spinner/src make all cp spinner ~/bin/ cp respin ~/bin/
Here it is assumed that you have a directory '~/bin' which is listed in the $PATH environment variable.
If the compile does not work then you may have to edit the makefile. Choose the right c++ compiler, and make sure the linker can find the libraries linked into the program.
If the project grows then hopefully more information can be added here on how to install on a range of systems.
