Since the I had a hard time simply finding the svn url to check out BlitzMax, I'm posting it here for others that might need it.

You can go to this page in a web browser to find what you need. There is a README file with instructions. Use your BlitzMax login. To check out what you want on the command line, simply type.

svn checkout http://blitzbasic.com:81/svn/blitzmax/dev/main


If dev main is what you want.

In my case (Ubuntu) what I wanted was.
mkdir blitzmax
cd blitzmax
svn checkout http://blitzbasic.com:81/svn/blitzmax/dev/main
svn checkout http://blitzbasic.com:81/svn/blitzmax/dev/linux_x86
svn checkout http://blitzbasic.com:81/svn/blitzmax/dev/samples


Other options include macos_ppc, macos_x86 and win32_x86. They are not that big, so for simplicity you could simply do.

svn checkout http://blitzbasic.com:81/svn/blitzmax/dev


Now, my next step is to get all this working on Ubuntu 8.10. :/

How hard can it be to use svn from the commandline? There's a help included.

svn help
svn help checkout
svn help update
svn help commit

You may want to add the following to your script as well:

bmk makemods
bmk makemods -h
makedocs


To automatically compile a newly downloaded modules and documentation.
