Downloads

Currently the only available download is the Python prototype, however it is possible to download, compile and install the latest development code.

Building the project

Prerequisites: subversion, autotools and gnome-common

Libraries: gtkmm, librsvg, libxml++, cairomm and libpcrecpp

Using subversion: svn co https://ngboard.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ngboard/trunk ngboard then cd ngboard, ./autogen.sh, make and finally as root make install.

After that, it should be possible to run the application simply by typing ngboard.
