Download

All the code is hosted on sourceforge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gensched/

The downloads page is located here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gensched/files/

The released files follow the naming scheme: gensched-{type}_{OS}-{arch}_{rel}_{date}.{ext}

type: type of file
- src: only source tree, no binary
- bin: binary, without manual nor demo files
- bin-full: binary, manual and demo files
OS: OS (Linux, win32, ....)
arch: hardware architecture (x86, 686, ...)
rel: release number
date: release date, in the form YYYYMMDD
ext: archive extension, tar.gz for Linux, zip for Windows

To get only the source code, we recommend using the link provided by SF that provides the latest trunk snapshot:

https://sourceforge.net/p/gensched/code-0/HEAD/tarball

In that case, you will need to build the software, see Building the software.

Installing

To install, download a binary package, extract archive content in some random folder, and run the provided install script.

Linux/Debian

From command-line on a Debian-type machine:

$ tar -xf gensched-bin_XXX_YYYYMMDD.tar.gz

$ sudo ./install.sh

The install script just copies some files into /usr/local/bin and /etc/gensched.

Windows

Windows build dropped for the moment, sorry!

Checking

After that, you can check correct installation by opening a prompt an trying:

$ gensched -h

This should produce the following output:
