Getting started with CmisSync development

---

Common steps for all platforms

1. Install Git
2. Fork https://github.com/nicolas-raoul/CmisSync
3. Git clone to your local computer.

If you don't like Git, you can also download the source code as a ZIP file here.

On Windows

1. Install Microsoft Visual C# (Express version is free)
2. Open Microsoft Visual C#
3. Import SparkleShare/Windows/SparkleShare.sln
4. Debug > Start debugging

On Linux

1. sudo cp SparkleLib/Cmis/DotCMIS.dll /usr/lib/sparkleshare/
2. Same steps as detailed here: https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/blob/master/SparkleShare/Linux/README.md
3. Run: sparkleshare start

Importing to Monodevelop

1. Install Monodevelop
2. Import SparkleShare/Linux/SparkleShare.sln
3. I haven't found how to make debug work yet, see http://stackoverflow.com/q/11963904

Source code explanation

The synchronization algorithm is in SparkleLib/Cmis.
CmisSync uses an SQLite database to cache checksums, server-side modification dates, etc, in CmisDatabase.cs.
The source code contains a lot of comments so it should be explicit. Please let us know if something is lacking.
The UI is based on SparkleShare, an excellent Git-synchronization tool.
