[edit] CVS

The best way to obtain Blender sources is through anonymous CVS access. See here for information on how to retrieve it from CVS.

For Windows systems it is good to checkout also the lib/windows module, since it contains most of the necessary libraries precompiled.

[edit] CVS Tools

If you are on a Linux or other Unix-like system, the chances are that you already have CVS tools installed. You can verify that by writing cvs in a shell. If you find you haven't this tool, please see the CVSHome.org site for further information.

If you are on Windows I'd recommend TortoiseCVS which is very intuitive in use and integrates nicely into explorer.

[edit] Correct directory structure

The base directory we'll be working from is:

/home/user/blenderdev/ for Unix-like systems

and

C:\blenderdev\ for Windows

After checking out sources and the lib modules the base directory should contain two directories: blender and lib.

When using windows you'll be checking out only the module lib/windows, if you're using Solaris you'll be checking out only module lib/solaris-2.8-sparc. See CVS for available lib/ modules.
