h1. Building AMC from repository

Alexis taught me how to build from sources.

This how to assumes an debian/ubuntu  system and has been tested on ubuntu 10.04 and 11.10.

The steps to execute are

# download (checkout) from the repository

<pre>

$ svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/auto-qcm/trunk auto-qcm

</pre>

# build

<pre>

$ cd auto-qcm

$ make deb

</pre>

This might show some unfulfilled dependencies and therefore might fail.

In my case that was 

*libnetpbm10-dev libcv-dev libhighgui-dev dblatex docbook-xsl librsvg2-bin*

# Install these dependencies, then have another go (two steps).

<pre>

$ sudo apt-get install libnetpbm10-dev libcv-dev libhighgui-dev dblatex docbook-xsl librsvg2-bin

$ make deb

</pre>

This should produce a .deb package in the /tmp dir, which can be checked.

The package will be named auto-multiple-choice_x.y.z-u_i386.deb where x,y,z and u depend on the revision at the moment of your checkout.

You're done and can install this package the usual way with e.g. (As I just now did on my 10.04 machine)

<pre>

sudo  dpkg -i /tmp/auto-multiple-choice_1.0.977-1_i386.deb 

</pre>

If you want to stay on the bleeding edge, svn update in the auto-qcm sub directory and the rerun the package making. Run step 1 and 2 again

You may of course also just build parts (like the LaTeX.sty file for instance) and install them separately.

<pre>

$ cd .../auto-qcm

$ svn up

$ make deb

</pre>
