h1. Building AMC from repository

Alexis taught me how to build from sources.

This how to assumes a an debian/ubuntu system and has been tested on all "stable versions of Ubuntu.":https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases#Stable ubuntu 10.04, 11.10, 12.04 and 12.10.
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.
The dependencies may include *libnetpbm10-dev libcv-dev libhighgui-dev dblatex docbook-xsl librsvg2-bin libxml-libxml-perl g++*
# 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 libxml-libxml-perl g++
$ make deb
</pre>
This should produce a .deb package in the /tmp directory, 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.
# After that you're done and can install this package the usual way with e.g. (As I did just now on my ubuntu 10.04 machine)
<pre>
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/auto-multiple-choice_1.0.977-1_i386.deb
</pre>

@dpkg@ might complain that some dependencies are not fulfilled. You can install the using @apt-get@ install the usual way.
You should also consider installing the _recommended_ packages (see the @Recommends:@ line in source:debian/control) with @apt-get@, as @dpkg@ does not tell you if they are missing!

If you want to stay on the bleeding edge, svn update in the auto-qcm sub directory and the rerun the package making.
<pre>
$ cd .../auto-qcm
$ svn up
$ make deb
</pre>
You may of course also just build parts (like the LaTeX.sty file for instance) and install them separately.
