As of now, Borges has only been tested on Mandrake Linux. It should work on any Linux system provided the necessary dependencies are installed. Please inform us of any successes or failures on any other systems.
Current versions are published on SourceForge. There, you will find different packagings:
The different Borges packages are also part of the Mandrake Linux distribution.
Finally, if you like living
dangerously, you can get the current CVS
version with following parameters:CVS_RSH=ssh
and
CVSROOT=:ext:anoncvs@cvs.mandrakesoft.com:/cooker
. Then,
you can get the module Borges
with password
cvs
.
Just install the RPM packages, or read the instructions in the tarball.
Borges
installs by default in
/usr/share/Borges/
. If that doesn't suits
you, please see Section 5.1, “Installing Borges on an Unusual Path”.
If you do not install Borges from RPM packages, you'll have to check that the following programs or libraries are available on your system:
perl-XML-Twig, perl-DateManip and perl-XML-LibXML libraries;
xmllint XML parser and validator;
xfig diagrams editor if you
wish to work with xfig
diagrams;
