FACK: obtaining the program

Currently, FACK is only available as source code. The source is in C++, and you'll have to compile it with the compiler of your choice. Personally I use gcc under linux. There are two ways to get the source code: the official source release and the CVS repository.

Official source release

The latest source release of FACK is available here.

(currently no official release is available).

Latest snapshot - CVS

To get the latest source code, you must use a program called CVS. Under GNU/linux, just install CVS, which comes with most distributions, then open a terminal and copy&paste this text:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fack checkout fack

This will create a directory called fack in your current directory, and put the source code of FACK in it.

Compiling

After you have got the sources, you'll have to compile them. Instructions (and info about required packages) are available here.
