The sourcecode is available under GitHub RailControl.

The sourcecode is published under GPLv3 Open-Source-Licence.

RailControl should be compilable on all Posix-systems that have a GCC- or clang-compiler installed. RailControl has been tested on the following systems:

  • Windows with Cygwin
  • Ubuntu Linux
  • Mac OS X

Compile under Windows

RailControl requires a posix-environement. Windows is not posix compiliant, but cygwin offers the posix functions for Windows. To install the needed development tools one have to select the following additional packets:

gcc-g++ 
make
git

After the cygwin installation one can get the sources in a cygwin terminal with:

git clone https://github.com/teddych/railcontrol.git

The sources are in the newly created directory railcontrol. One can change into this directory with

cd railcontrol

Now RailControl can be compiled with

make

Then RailControl can be started with

./railcontrol.exe

Update

An update can be performed as follows:

git pull
make

32-bit Cygwin

There is a 32 bit build of cygwin. But there is no more support for the 32 bit version. Basically RailControl should run in the 32 bit environment, but we do not really support it.

Compile under Linux or a Posix-Environment

On debian based systems the required developer tools can be installed with (this can be different on non debian Linux distributions):

sudo apt-get install g++ binutils make git

After installing the developer tools one can get the sources with:

git clone https://github.com/teddych/railcontrol.git

The sources are in the newly created directory railcontrol. One can change into this directory with

cd railcontrol

Now RailControl can be compiled with

make

Then RailControl can be started with

./railcontrol

Update

An update can be performed as follows:

git pull
make

Compile under Mac OS X

The required developer tools can be installed in a terminal with:

sudo xcode-select --install

After installing the developer tools one can get the sources with:

git clone https://github.com/teddych/railcontrol.git

The sources are in the newly created directory railcontrol. One can change into this directory with

cd railcontrol

Now RailControl can be compiled with

make

Then RailControl can be started with

./railcontrol

Update

An update can be performed as follows:

git pull
