In this section you will find all the versions of Qucs which have been released so far. Also we provide links to the FreeHDL versions.

CVS repository

If you are one of the impatient you can use latest CVS. CVS can have the bugfixes and features you've always wanted, but also be much less stable than a release. Be aware of that.

Pulling from CVS:


	$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@qucs.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/qucs login
        [when asked for a password, simply press enter]
        $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@qucs.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/qucs co qucs
        $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@qucs.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/qucs co qucs-core
        $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@qucs.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/qucs co qucs-doc
        $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@qucs.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/qucs co -r qucs_0_1_0 -d qucs-qt4 qucs

To build:


	$ cd qucs/
        $ sh autogen.sh
        $ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/qucs --enable-maintainer-mode
        $ make && make install
        $ cd ..

	$ cd qucs-core/
        $ sh autogen.sh
        $ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/qucs --enable-maintainer-mode
        $ make && make install
        $ cd ..

	$ cd qucs-doc/
        $ sh autogen.sh
        $ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/qucs --enable-maintainer-mode
        $ (cd technical/ && make technical)
        $ (cd tutorial/ && make tutorial)
        $ (cd tutorial/ && make book)
        $ cd ..

	$ cd qucs-qt4/
        $ sh autogen.sh
        $ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/qucs-qt4 --enable-maintainer-mode
        $ make && make install
        $ cd ..

To run:


        $ cd /tmp/qucs/bin
        $ ./qucs

To run with a specific language set:


        $ cd /tmp/qucs/bin
        $ LANG=de ./qucs

Nightly CVS snapshot

Each day/night a tarball of current anonymous CVS (all qucs, qucs-doc and qucs-core included) is made and available for download here. The Qt4 port branch is also available. Unpack and build as described above. This adresses people unable to access CVS directly. Thank Raimund for his kind support. The individual file changes in CVS are logged to the mailing list <qucs-cvs@lists.soureforge.net>. The mailing list is archived here.

About the Win32 binary releases

As already mentioned there is an installer package for Qucs for Win32 systems. The relocations of the package (the location where the package gets installed) is mainly steered by environment variables. During a normal installation the appropriate environment variables are automatically set for the user who installed the package.

One of them must be emphasised: HOME. During installation an appropriate file system location will be found. When it was already set then the previous value is assumed. The location decides where the project, intermediate and configuration files will be saved. So when the user wonders about missing project files or lost configuration it's worth to have a look at the environment variables.

If FreeHDL is meant to be used for digital simulation then also the binary package must be downloaded and installed. It requires the MinGW32 compiler. If it is not already installed, it's possible to install a prepared binary package for this, too. It contains the minimal MinGW32 installation required to work with FreeHDL.
