How to do a checkout

To create an anonymous working copy of the current IPSA trunk use:

 svn co https://ipsa.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ipsa/trunk IPSA

To create a developer copy of the current IPSA trunk use:

 svn co --username=<SourceForgeAccountName> https://ipsa.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ipsa/trunk IPSA

Both versions will create a directory named IPSA in the current directory.

CMake

To show the current compilation commands use the following command instead of just typing 'make'

 make VERBOSE=1
