-This file describes installing Privoxy from source. If you are installing a
-pre-built binary installation, you should probably read the appropriate section
-in User Manual.
-
To build Privoxy from source, autoconf, GNU make (gmake), and, of course, a C
compiler like gcc are required.
-When building from a source tarball (either release version or nightly CVS
-tarball), first unpack the source:
+When building from a source tarball, first unpack the source:
- tar xzvf privoxy-3.1.1-beta-src* [.tgz or .tar.gz]
- cd privoxy-3.1.1-beta
+ tar xzvf privoxy-3.0.5-beta-src* [.tgz or .tar.gz]
+ cd privoxy-3.0.5-beta
-For retrieving the current CVS sources, you'll need CVS installed. Note that
-sources from CVS are development quality, and may not be stable, or well
-tested. To download CVS source:
+For retrieving the current CVS sources, you'll need a CVS client installed.
+Note that sources from CVS are typicially development quality, and may not be
+stable, or well tested. To download CVS source, check the Sourceforge
+documentation, which might give commands like:
- cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
- cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co current
+ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
+ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co current
cd current
This will create a directory named current/, which will contain the source
checked for correct paths and values, if anything other than a default install
is done.
-If install finds previous versions of any configuration files, these will not
-be overwritten, and the new ones will be installed with a "new" extension. You
-will then need to manually update the installed configuration files as needed.

templates, you should save these first. If a previous version of Privoxy is
already running, you will have to restart it manually.
