Checkout the dataspace tree from CVS:

cvs -d /code/cvs co dataspace

After checkout, the configure files need to be generated.  I've been using
the latest versions:

autoconf 2.57
automake 1.7.2
libtool 1.4.3

These are the versions installed on the ATD linux local.  Pass --version if
you need to check the version of any of the above.  Note that autogen.sh
also calls aclocal and autoheader, but those are part of the automake and
autoconf, respectively, and so their versions should match.

cd dataspace
./autogen.sh

Some parts of configuration are automatic, but some are hardcoded.  See
configure.ac for details.  As it is now, configure should work in the ATD
linux environment, except the C++ libraries were built with GCC 2.95.3, and
so the C++ compiler must be set explicitly if 2.95.3 is not found on the
path by default:

export CXX=/usr/local/gcc/2.95.3/bin/g++
./configure
make
make check

The check target runs a test program in src/tests based on CppUnit.  All
the tests should pass.

The build will create doxygen documentation rooted at
docs/api/html/index.html.
