We are going to further improve this section. If you have problems using the given instructions, please subscribe and ask in the developer mailinglist.

Note: This section is currently being updated for SOPE 4.3 and OGo 1.0a which change the build and install procedure. Some information might be incorrect, please provide feedback in case you find incorrect information!

Requirements

  • GNU make
  • flex and bison
  • GNU Objective-C Compiler (GCC)

  • Apache, including development headers (mod_ngobjweb)
  • Zlib Development package (sope-core)
