hi everyone,
i've ubuntu 13.04 64 bit, i've downloaded an open source program for use in my study.
it includes
doc helpers make.py src
log scripts tools

how should i convert it to working program

thanks in advance

knowing what the "open source program" is would certainly help

but try

~/Downloads/revkit-1.3$ ./make.py
couldn't parse arguments. Try ./make.py -h
ravi@ravi-ji:~/Downloads/revkit-1.3$ ./make.py -h
valid scripts are: bootstrap, build, clean
- bootstrap: initializes the revkit directory and libraries
- build: builds the algorithms
- clean: cleans the revkit directory
Take a look at doc/README for further information.
ravi@ravi-ji:~/Downloads/revkit-1.3$ ./make.py build
init
Sat Sep 21 18:37:12 TFT 2013 /home/ravi/Downloads/revkit-1.3/scripts/build param:
-DBUILD_BINDINGS=ON -DBUILD_UNSTABLE=ON
you should run bootstrap.sh first. Run it now? y/n
y
/home/ravi/Downloads/revkit-1.3/scripts/build: line 98: bootstrap.sh: No such file or directory

# 3 .

* How to build "revkit-1.3" : See revkit-1.3/doc/README

1) $ python make.py bootstrap
2) $ python make.py build

Please also read revkit-1.3/doc/users/revkit_user_manual.pdf

i've done that....but without any result.....i'm still confused.....pls see the output from the terminal as below
./make.py build
init

/home/ravi/Downloads/revkit-1.3/scripts/build: line 98: bootstrap.sh: No such file or directory

# 5 : Please do not run `./make.py build' when `./make.py bootstrap' fails.

Did you install all the prerequisites ? ?
See revkit-1.3/doc/README , line 13, REQUIREMENTS.
These are the requirements for Ubuntu 13.04 : $ sudo apt-get install \
build-essential cmake python-all-dev ipython python-qt4 python-numpy \
git libbz2-dev zlib1g-dev libboost-all-dev

I.e. the "bootstrap" will not work if e.g. 'git' isn't installed.
! The error output from `./make.py bootstrap' will say :
No git found , etc. etc.

This is what './make.py bootstrap' will do :
a) Automatically download boost-1_51_0, and build the 40 boost libraries.
... Boost build time : About 15 minutes.
b) Also automatically downloaded and built are :
cudd-2.5.0.tar.gz, fmi-0.3.tar.gz, puma-2.23.tar.gz

*** Important note :
Every time things fail, please start from scratch,
with a new unpacked revkit-1.3.tar.gz !
