Installation of Openwsman from Source

Openwsman Source Repository

Openwsman uses Subversion for Code version control. The Openwsman repository is hosted at Sourceforge and provides read only access to everyone and read/write access to developers. You can either view the repository online on Sourceforge or using this site which keeps an uptodate mirror of the SourceForge repository.

In order to access a Subversion repository, you must install a special piece of software called a Subversion client. Subversion clients are available for most any operating system.

Subversion Access

This project's Sourceforge.net Subversion repository can be checked out through SVN with the following instruction set:

 svn co https://openwsman.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openwsman openwsman

(Warning: This is a generic Subversion checkout command which will pull all modules, tags and/or branches of the project. Please refer to project home page for specific SVN instructions, or use "Browse Repository" link; in most cases, you will want to add '/trunk' to the HTTPS URL above to check out only trunk (main development line)).

Information about accessing this Subversion repository may be found in our document titled Subversion (Version Control for Source Code).

Browse the Subversion Tree

Though Subversion repositories are most commonly accessed using a special piece of software called a Subversion client, we also provide a web-based interface to view Subversion repositories. Browsing the Subversion tree gives you a great view into the current status of this project's code. You may also view the complete history of any file in the repository.

After checking out the project from Subversion run

./bootstrap

in the Top directory and follow that by running

./configure <options>.

If you download a packaged version (a compressed tar), then there is no need to run ./autoconfiscate and you will be able to run the configuration script directly.

Installation

After all packages are installed, compile the source and install (make and then make install).

To be able to put the configuration files under /etc/openwsman, run the configure script with the --sysconfdir option using the value /etc. If this option is not used, the default will be under PREFIX (/usr/local/etc ).
