Requirements

To compile Rembassy you will need a UN*X base system (I am using openSUSE 10.2).

In the next sections are indicated the versions of the applications that the rembassy development version (CVS head) is using at present time, but it is very robable that the system work with some previous versions of the packages.

Common requirements

The requriements described on this section are necessary both for code and documentation and only if you use a CVS version of rembassy:

Requirements to compile/run the programs

To compile/run rembassy you will need these software packages:

  • Python 2.5.0
  • pysqlite 2.3.3
  • SQLAlchemy 0.3.6
  • tlslite 0.3.8. Necessary only if you want to use SSL.
  • Zope 2.10.3. Necessary only on the machine that runs web user interface. Note that this Zope version requires Python 2.4.4. So, if yoy run rembassy and Zope on the same machine you will need two versions of this language, one for rembassy and another one for Zope.

Requirements to build the documentation

These packages only are required if you want to build the rembassy documentation:

  • Dia 0.94
