Finally, as an aid to development work, one can run MonAMI from within the CVS tree.

With the configuration, if MonAMI fails to find the configuration file in the configured location (/home/paul/MonAMI-test-install/etc/monami.conf), it will look for monami.conf within the current working directory.

For plugins, MonAMI will first look in the configured plugin directory (/home/paul/MonAMI-test-install/lib/monami). If this directory does not exist, or contains no plugins, then the plugin directory within the current directory is examined. The src/plugin directory is where plugins are placed as they are built.

MonAMI will run within CVS provided that the "current working directory" is src and the CVS-configured MonAMI does not share the same prefix as an installed MonAMI instance. It is recommended not to run an installed MonAMI on a development machine and to use the -f command-line option when running monamid from the CVS directory tree.
