In a terminal:
1 CD to the directory which you want to contain the Swarm code directory.
2 This only needs to be done once on each computer. The results are
stored in ~/.cvspass
type:
cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/swarm login
You should receive a password prompt. Just hit the return key
3. Then type
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/swarm co swarm
Cvs should then download a complete code tree.
It will not be the same as the code you are used to from the tarballs.
There are 'CVS' directories everywhere. Do not touch these. There are
also no configure files. These are created by the autogen.sh script. So
cd into the swarm directory and type:
./autogen.sh
Then you can proceed with configure as usual. Configure should run
without problem. I used:
../configure \
--prefix=/some path \
--with-tcldir=/usr/local/lib \
--without-jdkdir \
--with-hdf5dir=/usr/local
When it groks. Try comparing your modified files with the cvs code:
cvs -c diff yourfile cvsfile
Merge the two (in your tree of cvs code) and then diff against the
repository code:
cvs -z3 diff mergedfile
Please send me the diffs then I can see what you are doing and merge them
into the cvs if appropriate.
At any time in the future you can update the code tree by typing:
cvs -z3 update
in the head directory.
If you open the ProjectBuilder project, you should be able to use the CVS
facilities in that. Perhaps the most useful is the ability to compare
your code with the current or any previous version in the CVS.

hdf5 1.5.42 needs no patches.

There is little point duplicating web pages. I have uploaded a binary
tarball of BLT2.4z.

Release code for OS X should be binaries. If you are interested in source
modification of any sort, you should use cvs.
I would really like to get a copy of the source code you are using, or at
least some patches.
