The third main release of Linux-SRT is codenamed Mongoose.

Current version

Version 3.1 source: mongoose_31.tar.gz (150 KB, required)
Precompiled X server: svga_bin_lsrt_31.tar.gz (2 MB, optional)

You need to download the main source distribution in all cases, even if you plan to use the precompiled X server. If you don't use the SVGA server, or would like to compile everything yourself anyway, you only need to get the source code.

Don't forget to grab suitable versions of the kernel, XFree86 and Afterstep if you need 'em.

Version 3.04: mongoose_304.tar.gz
Version 2: kangaroo.tar.gz
Version 1: alligator.tar.gz

Required:

• Linux kernel version 2.2.15
• Qt version 1.4x or later
• Intel processor
• Uniprocessor only (kernel modifications are not SMP safe)

• XFree86 3.3.6 compiled from source
• Afterstep 1.8.0 compiled from source

• You can use any Linux distribution and any version of libc. Ideally we would suggest glibc 2.1 or later to ensure that multithreaded programs are supported correctly.
• Most of the code is architecture independent, so porting from i386 to another processor family should be easy.
• The Qt library comes with most Linux distributions, and with KDE. You can type ldconfig -v | grep qt to check if you have it.
• Exercise for the reader: if you don't use Afterstep, you might consider porting the direct manipulation feature to your favourite window manager, and submitting the code to Linux-SRT. It shouldn't be too difficult, and we'd love to support more interfaces!
