Hello everyone. I am a sidux user and a newbie when it comes to installing a package from svn.
I needed the assimp libraries for jahshaka actually. I went to the sourceforge site and the only choice is svn. I was able to follow their simple directions to get the svn assimp downloaded however these directions are way to vague for me:
Open Asset Import Library (Assimp) Install
-----------------------------------------
To take a look into the ASSIMP library just get the code, go to the
workspaces-directory and open your prefered build enviroment. Now just build
the engine, start the ASSIMP-Viewer application and select one of our basic test-files.
You need boost-1.35 to build the Asset Import Library.
Would a nice svn savvy person be able to give me specific directions?

If you need help with the 'svn' downloaded 'assimp', please
show a link to the actual site, and the full command used to
get the files : 'svn co ..........', please.
And getting the required 'boost' : # 'apt-get install libboost1.35-dev'
Building 'libassimp.a' in 'workspaces/SCons/' :
'cd assimp/workspaces/SCons/', and then 'scons'
.. works with 'scons-1.0.0' > > # 'apt-get install scons'
Thank you so very much for your fast and great help. I feel silly since I missed those downloads you show. The link is the same as you gave and I guess I went to the svn download somehow.
I have followed your directions for using scons and I get this error:

Thanks for your reply. I am compiling the version you say that works which is 'rev 281' and this is my info:
scons --version

I guess I will give it another try soon when I have time and give my results. I had to give it a rest the past few days.
Should I downgrade scons and g++? I am not sure the best way to do that either.

Rep:
'scons-1.0.0' is perfect.
'g++-4.3.3' will probable behave OK like g++-4.3.2 did here.
( If you ever have problems with 'g++-4.3', I guess that the
older versions 'g++-4.1' and ' g++-3.4 / 3.3 ' are available
for Sidux, like they are for Debian.)

Well, I am learning. Thank you. Yes, I was in the wrong directory. I finally got it to work. It seems like it was successful. Do I do anything else after this or should assimp be installed now?
