If you want to rebuild PuTTY from source, we provide a variety of
Makefiles and equivalents. (If you have fetched the source from
-Subversion, you'll have to generate the Makefiles yourself -- see
+Git, you'll have to generate the Makefiles yourself -- see
below.)
There are various compile-time directives that you can use to
- The Unix Makefiles have an `install' target. Note that by default
it tries to install `man' pages; if you have fetched the source via
- Subversion then you will need to have built these using Halibut
+ Git then you will need to have built these using Halibut
first - see below.
- It's also possible to build the Windows version of PuTTY to run
The Unix `configure' script and its various requirements are generated
by the shell script `mkauto.sh', which requires GNU Autoconf, GNU
-Automake, and Gtk; if you've got the source from Subversion rather
+Automake, and Gtk; if you've got the source from Git rather
than using one of our source snapshots, you'll need to run this
yourself. The input file to Automake is generated by mkfiles.pl along
with all the rest of the makefiles, so you will need to run mkfiles.pl
Also, security reasons. PuTTY is a security product, and as such it
is particularly important to guard the code and the web site against
unauthorised modifications which might introduce subtle security
-flaws. Therefore, we prefer that the Subversion repository, web site and
+flaws. Therefore, we prefer that the Git repository, web site and
FTP site remain where they are, under the direct control of system
administrators we know and trust personally, rather than being run
by a large organisation full of people we've never met and which is
The actual snapshots are built on a team member's home Windows box.
The keys themselves are stored on an independently run Unix box
-(the same one that hosts our Subversion repository). After
+(the same one that hosts our Git repository). After
being built, the binaries are uploaded to this Unix box and then
signed automatically.
