Type following commands into the Terminal and press enter:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@yab-interpreter.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/yab-interpreter checkout yab-interpreter


You get the source of yab through cvs. All files are normally placed at /boot/home/yab-interpreter.

After this you can compile the yab source.

Attention!

Only advanced users should be compile sources. Read the compile informations before you start compiling the source.


To compile the source, change into the source folder (here /src). Type into the Terminal cd /boot/home/yab-interpreter/src to change into the source folder. Enter following command to compile the source:

make -f Makefile.ZETA
