Getting Started with Development
Getting the Code
Pioneer is managed using Git, and is stored on Github. The official repository is the best one to get. To get it:
git clone git://github.com/pioneerspacesim/pioneer.git
This will get you on the "master" branch, which is where new code is merged. This is the latest and greatest development and is quite unstable. To build a specific alpha, you need to checkout the appropriate release tag:
git checkout alpha20
Compiling
There are instructions for how to compile the code included in the repository:
Debugging
For developers on Linux, gdb can be used for debugging
gdb ./src/pioneer run
Bugs, and feature requests, should be logged on the issue tracker.
