1. Check out the tip

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/silgraphite login 

(password "", only press enter)

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/silgraphite co  silgraphite

If you have problem - see the cvs page for silgraphite

2. Build

Make sure you have the relatively recent versions of automake and autoconf 
cd silgraphite
./autogen.sh 
(this will run aclocal, autoconf, automake and libtoolize)
./configure
make
(and optionally log into as su for installation)
make install
Take a look at INSTALL and ./configure --help

3. Build the XftHello Demo App

[to be written] In addition to silgraphite, you need to install FreeType2 and Xft to build this demo app. 
cd silgraphite/contrib/XftHelloWorld
./autogen.sh
./configure
gmake
