Installing Tscope

If you're new to Tscope, you will need to download a suitable development environment first. In that case go to the previous section, follow the instructions and come back here.

If you are upgrading to a new version of Tscope, make sure you have removed any older version. How to do that is explained below.

Tscope has two distribution formats: a automatic installer for Windows, and a source tarball that can be installed on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

After installing Tscope as described below, you can start going trough the documentation. A local copy of this site will be available in the C:\cygwin\usr\local\tscope\docs directory, or in the same directory on the D:, E: or F: drive, dependent on the disk used by your Windows installation). Text versions of the example and test programs are available in the examples and docs subdirectories of your Tscope installation.

Automatic installer (Windows only)

Installation

The automatic installer of Tscope can be downloaded here. It's a regular Windows-style installer. Just download the program, and execute it. There are no installation options.

Uninstallation

Uninstalling the binary distribution can be done by clicking on the uninstall Tscope item in the Cygwin4tscope folder of the programs menu.

Installation from source

Installation

Experienced users can install the most recent version from source. Download the source tarball here.

On Windows, you have to put the tarball in c:/cygwin/usr/local/src. To install it, open the Cygwin bash shell and issue the following commands:

cd /usr/local/src
tar -xjf tscope-1.0.176.tar.bz2
cd tscope
make install-windows

On Linux, you have to put the tarball in /usr/local/src. To install it, open a shell and copy the following commands:

cd /usr/local/src
sudo tar -xjf tscope-1.0.176.tar.bz2
cd tscope
sudo make install-linux
sudo ldconfig

On Mac OS X, you have to put the tarball in /usr/local/src. To install it, open a shell and copy the following commands (replace 'yourname' on line 2 with your login name):

cd /usr/local/src
sudo mv /Users/yourname/Downloads/tscope-1.0.176.tar.bz2 .
sudo tar -xjf tscope-1.0.176.tar.bz2
cd tscope
sudo make install-macosx

Uninstallation

To uninstall the source distribution on Windows open the shell and copy the following commands:

cd /usr/local/src/tscope
make uninstall
cd ..
rm -rf tscope tscope-1.0.176.tar.bz2

On Linux, Tscope can be uninstalled by running the same commands as root (su -).

cd /usr/local/src/tscope
sudo make uninstall
cd ..
sudo rm -rf tscope tscope-1.0.176.tar.bz2

On Mac OS X, using sudo is the preferred method of doing things that need root privileges:

cd /usr/local/tscope
sudo make uninstall
cd ..
sudo rm -rf tscope tscope-1.0.176.tar.bz2

Updating

Quite often (several times per year) an update of tscope is released. It is a good idea to upgrade your installation each time a new version is released.

To avoid problems, uninstall the old version manually before installing the new version.
