How to access and use DOT

Check out the DOT source code from the subversion repository

• Anonymous access:svn checkout https://moo.cmcl.cs.cmu.edu/svn/dot/src/trunk
• DOT Developers:svn checkout https://moo.cmcl.cs.cmu.edu/svn/dot

Required Software to Build

• gmp - the gnu multiple precision library
• autoconf, automake, libtool
• sfslite - an asynchronous C++ development library.

Compile

• See the README in the top level source directory
  This file contains system-specific compilation notes for Linux, FreeBSD, and MacOS
• Patch sfslite with the DOT patches in src/trunk/patches/
• Build sfslite: cd sfslite; ./configure; make
• autoreconf -i -s
• cd /path/to/build/directory
  /path/to/checkout/src/trunk/configure
  make
http://www.okws.org/doku.php?id=sfslite

Test

• Compile DOT
• Symlink the 'gcp' binary into a location that's in your path
• Ensure that you can ssh to 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
• If you're building outside the source tree, cp -r ~/source/tree/test ./ (copy it into your build tree)
• run test/gcp_test.sh

The test will attempt to copy the file to the same host and verify the sha1 checksums of the original file and the copied file. You should see output like:

... (some stuff here) ...
Yay!  Put succeeded - Hash Time: 0.00, Data Time 0.70, Total Running Time 0.71 
gcp: Done sending all files
 real         0.71

sys          0.00
