How to get started on windows

SVN works as a sub-project of plastimatch
However, read/write access does not work

So, how to get read/write access? Use a separate GIT repository. Here is how to do this:

I’m assuming you are using cygwin, not msysgit
Create and install RSA key. Follow the directions here: http://help.github.com/msysgit-key-setup/ (this is not optional — https doesn’t seem to work)
When you test authentication, you might get an error such as PTY allocation request failed on channel 0 If so, ignore it
Use git ssh method: git clone git@github.com:SimonRit/RTK.git

Greg’s recommended strategy:

Use svn to get plastimatch/libs/RTK.svn as read-only
Go to libs directory, and "git pull" to create a RTK (or RTK.git) subdirectory
If you put it as libs/RTK or libs/RTK.git, plastimatch will automatically find it and use it
Otherwise, in Plastimatch CMake, set RTK_SOURCE_DIR to the RTK directory
You will need to do separate commits for plastimatch and RTK
