  2870 
       
  2871 There are several ways to get the master software:
       
  2872 
       
  2873 \begin{enumerate}
       
  2874 
       
  2875 \item An official release (for example \masterversion), can be downloaded from
       
  2876 the master's website\footnote{\url{http://etherlab.org/en/ethercat/index.php}}
       
  2877 at~the EtherLab project~\cite{etherlab} as a tarball.
       
  2878 
       
  2879 \item The most recent development revision (and moreover any other revision)
       
  2880 can be obtained via the Mercurial~\cite{mercurial} repository on the master's
       
  2881 project page on
       
  2882 SourceForge.net\footnote{\url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/etherlabmaster}}.
       
  2883 The whole repository can be cloned with the command
       
  2884 
       
  2885 \begin{lstlisting}[breaklines=true]
       
  2886 hg clone http://etherlabmaster.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/etherlabmaster/etherlabmaster `\textit{local-dir}`
       
  2887 \end{lstlisting}
       
  2888 
       
  2889 \item Without a local Mercurial installation, tarballs of arbitrary revisions
       
  2890 can be downloaded via the ``bz2'' links in the browsable repository
       
  2891 pages\footnote{\url{http://etherlabmaster.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/etherlabmaster/etherlabmaster}}.
       
  2892

  2870 The current EtherCAT master code is available at~\cite{etherlab} or can be
  2897 After downloading a tarball or cloning the repository as described in
  2871 obtained from the EtherLab CD. The \textit{tar.bz2} file has to be unpacked
  2898 sec.~\ref{sec:getting}, the sources have to be prepared and configured for the
  2872 with the commands below (or similar):
  2899 build process.
       
  2900 
       
  2901 When a tarball was downloaded, it has to be extracted with the following
       
  2902 commands:
  2873 
  2903 
  2874 \begin{lstlisting}[gobble=2]
  2904 \begin{lstlisting}[gobble=2]
  2875   $ `\textbf{tar xjf ethercat-\masterversion.tar.bz2}`
  2905   $ `\textbf{tar xjf ethercat-\masterversion.tar.bz2}`
  2876   $ `\textbf{cd ethercat-\masterversion/}`
  2906   $ `\textbf{cd ethercat-\masterversion/}`
  2877 \end{lstlisting}
  2907 \end{lstlisting}
  2878 
  2908 
  2879 The tarball was created with GNU Autotools, so the build process
  2909 The software configuration is managed with Autoconf~\cite{autoconf} so the
  2880 follows the below commands:
  2910 released versions contain a \lstinline+configure+ shell script, that has to be
       
  2911 executed for configuration (see below).
       
  2912 
       
  2913 \paragraph{Bootstrap} When downloading or cloning directly from the
       
  2914 repository, the \lstinline+configure+ script does not yet exist. It can be
       
  2915 created via the \lstinline+bootstrap.sh+ script in the master sources. The
       
  2916 autoconf and automake packages are required for this.
       
  2917 
       
  2918 \paragraph{Configuration and Build} The configuration and the build process
       
  2919 follow the below commands:
  2881 
  2920 
  2882 \begin{lstlisting}[gobble=2]
  2921 \begin{lstlisting}[gobble=2]
  2883   $ `\textbf{./configure}`
  2922   $ `\textbf{./configure}`
  2884   $ `\textbf{make}`
  2923   $ `\textbf{make}`
  2885   $ `\textbf{make modules}`
  2924   $ `\textbf{make modules}`
