<big><font size="2"><big>We are starting a project that will involve
experimenting with the source code of RAT and
VIC. Basically, we want to extend the configuration options that are
available in the command line and start-up scripts to allow more
control over the various features when the tools are launched. I can
tell you more about that later if you are interested, but my question
is about the development environment.<br>
<br>
What compiler is required to build RAT and VIC on the Windows
and UNIX platforms? Is it just the GNU tools for UNIX? For Windows I
understand that the developers might be using Visual Studio .NET. Is
this
correct? If so, if we have to go out and buy a new version of this
software, does it matter which of the 3 editions we get? Can we do it
all with the Professional edition, or do we need one of the Enterprise
editions?<br>
<br>
Another question concerns the CVS repository. There appears to be two
locations where the source code for RAT and VIC are stored:<br>
<br>
/ag-media/rat or /ag-media/vic<br>
/ag-rat or /ag-vic<br>
<br>
Which of these is the current project?<br>
<br>
We hope to be able offer anything useful that we come up with back to
the project.</big></font></big>
