For details of how to build CHI, download the source code and see the file BuildNotes.txt in the Docs directory.

The source code is available in two different formats:

Zip File Containing v3.0.0

This zip file contains the source code of the v3.0.0 release. To use the source you should create a new folder to hold it and then unzip the file, preserving the directory structure.

Subversion Repository Dump

This file contains a dump of a Subversion repository that stores the source code of CHI going back to v2.2.1 along with all changes up to and including release 3.0.0.

It contains branches off the tags branch that contain the exact source of both releases 2.2.1 and 3.0.0. The trunk branch contains the current development tree, which as supplied is the same as the v3.0.0 tags branch.

You should use the trunk branch to make any changes. The tags branches should be left unchanged. Snapshots of any new releases should be added there.

To use the repository, proceed as follows.

  1. Download the zip file containing the repository dump and extract the file chi-svndump from it.
  2. Create a new, empty directory to hold the repository.
  3. Do
    svnadmin create REPO-PATH
    where REPO-PATH is the path to the new directory.
  4. Do
    svnadmin load REPO-PATH <DUMP-FILE
    where REPO-PATH is as before and DUMP-FILE is the fully specified file name of chi-svndump.

Checkout a working copy of the trunk branch into a clean folder to work on.
