Note: In April 2015, the SCP team transitioned the source code repository from SVN-based to GitHub-based (Git).


Windows

Warning: The Windows section has yet to be updated for the transition to GitHub.

Ported from karajorma's thread on the HLP Forums.

Here's how you set things up:

  • Go to the Tortoise SVN homepage and download the latest version.
  • Install it. You'll probably have to restart your PC afterwards.
  • Make a new folder on your HD where you'd like to install the code. You'll need a fair bit of space for the code + the intermediate files when building it. Press right mouse and choose SVN Checkout from the list.

  • An new window will open up. Cut and paste this into the URL of repository box:
    svn://svn.icculus.org/fs2open/trunk/fs2_open
  • By default the HEAD revision will be selected. You probably don't want to change this. Your screen should now look like this:

  • Press OK to begin downloading from the repository.

It's pretty easy. It shouldn't take you more than a minute or two to do once you've installed Tortoise.
