No it is not a FAQ (yet), but if I don't put the pointers to lwp on the
download web page it will probably become one very soon.

(all pointer relative to ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu)

There are pre-built binary packages for redhat/linux-i386, freebsd-2.2.5
and 3.1 and netbsd-1.3. Those can be found in

    /pub/coda/linux/i386/lwp-1.1-1.i386.rpm
    /pub/coda/freebsd-x.x/i386/lwp-1.1.tar.gz
    /pub/coda/netbsd-x.x/i386/lwp-1.1.tar.gz

There is also a source tarball in

    /pub/coda/src/lwp-1.2.tar.gz

This one only differes by some build fixes for Solaris (and others?).
The only gotcha with building is that some CPUs don't support our thread
switching assembly in shared libraries. At least intel processors seems
to work. I've disabled shared libs in the copy in CVS for all but ix86
for now. (configure --disable-shared)

And CVS is ofcourse the most up-to-date.
 
  cvs -d':pserver:anonymous_at_coda.cs.cmu.edu:/coda-src' login
  Password: <Just hit return, no password needed>
  cvs -d':pserver:anonymous_at_coda.cs.cmu.edu:/coda-src' co lwp

But then you need to have automake/autoconf/libtool installed and run
./bootstrap.sh to get a configure file.
