Building under Ubuntu
- Install cvs
sudo apt-get install cvs
 - Download source into a directory in your home directory
cd ~
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@owfs.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/owfs co owfs
just hit "enter" if you are asked for a password -  Add the build tools
sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool libusb-dev libfuse-dev
 - Optionally add the language binding libraries
sudo apt-get install swig tcl-dev php5-dev python-dev php5-dev php-config
 - Build (and install) everything
cd owfs
autoreconf -i
./configure
make -j4
sudo make install - Optionally place links to programs in standard program directory (much more convenient)
