Getting started

I think we're all on some sort of Unix so far, so you'll want to do these steps to get yourself set up. Firstly head into a directory where you want to run this all from.

sudo apt-get install g++ libbz2-dev libssl-dev uuid-dev valgrind libsdl-dev
mkdir icfp
cd icfp
svn co svn://svn.felspar.com/public/icfp/2009/trunk entry
cd entry
./build
./build

We don't know if we're going to want to use any C++, but it seems sensible to have it ready to go before we start in case we find we do want it.

Now setup your python environment:

# install subversion
sudo apt-get install subversion
#
# get latest virtualenv & install in /usr/local/bin
cd /usr/local/bin && sudo wget http://svn.colorstudy.com/virtualenv/trunk/virtualenv.py && sudo chmod +x virtualenv.py
#
# download & install setuptools globally
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg#md5=ca37b1ff16fa2ede6e19383e7b59245a
sudo sh setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg
#
# download & install pip globally (goes to /usr/local/bin) 
# use like '$ pip install -E django-trunk -r django-trunk.txt' to build new virtual env setup
sudo easy_install pip
