You can download the latest development version of Charm++ directly from our source archive. We use the version control system "CVS", available preinstalled on most Linux/UNIX systems and downloadable for Windows.

Note that this development version may not be as portable or robust as the released versions. In any case you are advised to keep a backup of any old copies of Charm++.

Set your CVSROOT as:

(csh)> setenv CVSROOT ":pserver:checkout@charm.cs.uiuc.edu:/cvsroot"

(bash/tcsh)> export CVSROOT=":pserver:checkout@charm.cs.uiuc.edu:/cvsroot"

You should now be able to do a

> cvs login
(no password needed, just type [Enter] at prompt)

and then

> cvs co -P charm

to get the entire Charm++ development source. You only need to do the "cvs login" once (ever!)-- it stores your credentials in ~/.cvspass.

This will create a directory called charm. Now

> cd charm

and do

> ./build charm++ net-linux -O

This will make a net-linux directory, with bin, include, lib etc subdirectories.
