The Chipmunk Distribution

The current distribution of the Chipmunk tools was released May 25, 2014. It compiles and runs on Mac OS X Mavericks ( Apple LLVM Version 5.1) and on pre-clang Linux distributions (tested on Red Hat Linux, 2.6.35 kernel, gcc 4.5.1), using the -m32 memory model. Please test this distribution on clang-based Linux distributions and let us know how it works. Thanks to Michael Godfrey for his contributions to this release.

In addition to Linux and OS X, the Chipmunk tools run on a wide variety of platforms. Exact software requirements vary by platform, but for most machines an ANSI c compiler (most typically GCC), X11 (R4, R5, or R6), and an HTML browser are the only requirements.

The most current version of the documentation is accessible directly at the World-Wide Web sites that distribute the Chipmunk tools. You can browse the manual without downloading the Web tree.

The Chipmunk distribution is offered with the GNU license. In essence, GNU-licensed software is freely redistributable, but if you make changes to the source code, and wish to distribute your changes, you must also distribute the source code of your modified version, and your modified source must also be freely redistributable. Check the license agreement included with each Chipmunk tool for more information.
