This text describes how to retrieve, compile and run the World Wind (V1.3 as of this writing) source code from SourceForge.

It assumes you've already got CVS access working - this page describes setting up anonymous CVS access (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=69528).

For read-write CVS access, check out these instructions (http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/forums/index.php?showtopic=851).

Note that you'll end up with two seperate WorldWind installations: 1.2e retail, and the current version with the source code, with its binaries in \bin\Debug

In the following, <CVS> refers to your CVS working directory or sandbox.

   * Retrieve the source code tree from CVS as a clean update into an empty sandbox.
   * Open <cvs>\WorldWind\WorldWindow.sln and compile it.
   * Open <cvs>\WorldWind\WorldWind.sln and compile it.
   * Either: 

       * Uninstall any older "retail" copy of WorldWind 1.2. (Skip if you haven't got it installed yet)
       * Download and install World Wind 1.2e full (http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/download.html) (or the latest available retail version) 

   * Or: 

       * Patch your WorldWind install to 1.2e with the World Wind 1.2e patch (http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/download.html) 

   * In <CVS>\WorldWind\bin\Debug\Data create a directory "Earth"
   * From the \Data directory of the "retail" install (usually C:\Program Files\NASA\WorldWind v<version>\Data) copy the following directories to the newly 

created "Earth":

BlueMarbleTextures Boundaries Placenames

   * In Visual Studio, open <CVS>\WorldWind\v1_3QuadTileDirectoryFixer\v1_3QuadTileDirectoryFixer.sln, compile, and run it.
   * QuadTileDirectoryFixer will ask for a directory - point it to <CVS>\WorldWind\bin\Debug\Data\Earth\BlueMarbleTextures and press "Fix".
   * Launch <CVS>\WorldWind\bin\Debug\WorldWind.exe - good luck!

To build from the command line.

   * Launch the 'Visual Studio .NET 2003 Command Prompt' (under Start / Programs / Visual Studio .NET / Visual Studio .NET Tools)
   * CD to the WorldWind source root.
   * Run 'Devenv.exe WorldWindow.sln /build Debug' and 'Devenv.exe WorldWind.sln /build Debug' 

(Replace 'Debug' with 'Release' as desired)

   * As of 1.3.0 the references in the Release build point to /Debug dll's. So to /rebuild a release, /rebuild debug first. (02/03/05 adamhill)
