Here's the step-by-step version:  We checkout gr-build by hand, then use it to
bootstrap everything else.

  $ export CVS_RSH="ssh"
  $ cvs -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gnuradio co -P gr-build

You now have a directory called gr-build.  chdir into it:

  $ cd gr-build

This checkout command will checkout everything except for that related to the
Measurement Computing PCI card.

  $ ./checkout -x mc4020

You'll now have a bunch of directories...

If you haven't already, you'll want to set up /etc/sudoers.  The
buildit script below does the bulk of the work running as you, then
uses "sudo make install" to install the stuff into /usr/local/...

First, add yourself to group wheel by editing /etc/group.
Find the line that starts with wheel:x:... and add your logname to the
end of it.

Then make these changes to /etc/sudoers:

    # Defaults specification
    
    # Only ask for password every 10 minutes.
    Defaults timestamp_timeout=10
    
    # Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands
    %wheel  ALL=(ALL)       ALL
    

Now, assuming you've got all the dependencies fulfilled, this will
bootstrap, configure, make, make check, and make install
everything in the proper order:

  $ sudo -v     # give sudo the password now, so you can
                # walk away while it builds

                # Now build everything that you checked out

  $ ./for-all-dirs ../buildit 2>&1 | tee make.log


Assuming the build completed successfully, you're all set.



Later when you want to see if there are updates to CVS head, but don't
want to apply them to your tree use this:

  $ ./for-all-dirs cvs -nq up

If you like what you saw from the previous command, this will get the
updates and merge them into your tree:

  $ ./for-all-dirs cvs -q up

Then you should rebuild everything:

  $ ./for-all-dirs ../buildit
