Installing from a stable source release
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An example of a typical download, configure, make, make install:

  ::

    [user@host mapserver]$ wget http://tinyows.org/tracdocs/release/tinyows-1.0.0.tar.bz2
    [user@host mapserver]$ tar xvjf tinyows-1.0.0.tar.bz2
    [user@host mapserver]$ cd tinyows
    [user@host mapserver]$ ./configure
    [user@host mapserver]$ make
    [user@host mapserver]$ make install
    [user@host mapserver]$ make install-demo

Then copy the ``tinyows`` binary to your cgi-bin directory.

Installing the Current Trunk from SVN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To build from SVN, you must first install the ``autoconf`` utility,
and a Subversion client.

  ::

    [user@host mapserver]$ svn co http://www.tinyows.org/svn/tinyows/trunk tinyows
    [user@host mapserver]$ cd tinyows
    [user@host mapserver]$ autoconf
    [user@host mapserver]$ ./configure
    [user@host mapserver]$ make
    [user@host mapserver]$ make install
    [user@host mapserver]$ make install-demo

Then copy the ``tinyows`` binary to your cgi-bin directory.
