In principle, I can svn co trunk, a bit of vi, and make and everything is sweet -- however, I suspect there is more to it than that.
So, enough preamble, I am interested in having a poke about in the source, see if I can understaand some of the things Ive seen happen, maybe work out how to fix the thatgoid ai problem and submit some patches.
More likely just satisfy my interest, and, admittedly, more likely still, download source, look at a coupe of files and never go back to it.
That said, before I go too far (I have already looked around svn using the web interface), I thought Id ask if there is already a HOWTO. I havent found one yet, but I thought, no harm in asking, right?
The kind of things I thought I might need to know, do I need an exotic compiler (do I need to pay for one, or can I use gcc or something like that?)? Im kind of assuming the latest GNUmake and so on will do me for most things.
IDE, well, Im happy using vi, but maybe Im missing a trick, dont want any religious wars, but is there a standardish tool other people are using (I have heard eclipse mentioned, for example).
I dont really know objective C, and Im not an OSX expert, however, Im not planning on doing much, just reading, understanding, and maybe fixing some stuff. I have about 10 years programming experience, and I think that the odd bugfix shouldnt be that far beyond me.
So, any pointers and gotchas would be appreciated
a link to a howto of some kind, or a couple of lines, get this compiler, svn co this, get make v1.0 .configure make install would do
