From MdsWiki
If you are interested in attempting to build MDSplus from the sources we recommend using one of the "Source Only" distributions on the Downloads page.
The MDSplus source code cvs repository can be viewed from your browser by clicking here or downloaded using cvs as follows:
# cvs -d :pserver:MDSguest@www.mdsplus.org:/mdsplus/repos login CVS password: MDSguest # cvs -d :pserver:MDSguest@www.mdsplus.org:/mdsplus/repos checkout mdsplus
or for windows:
# cvs -d :pserver:MDSguest@www.mdsplus.org:/mdsplus/repos login CVS password: MDSguest C:\ cvs -d :pserver:MDSguest@www.mdsplus.org:/mdsplus/repos checkout mdsplus-win
|}
Note: Building from the head of the cvs repository may lead to unpredictable results. It should be safer to select a release version using the appropriate cvs tags.
