compiling from cvs?

[Your_mom]

im trying to use win cvs so i can try the cvs version what am i doing wrong is the checkout command what im supposed to be using?

Code: Select all

Line 001: $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/armagetronad
\ncheckout armagetronad
\n
\nLine 002: cvs checkout: Updating modulename
\nLine 003: U modulename/LICENSE
\nLine 004: U modulename/Makefile
\nLine 005: U modulename/README
\nLine 006: U modulename/client.c
\nLine 007: U modulename/client.h
\nLine 008: U modulename/server.c
\nLine 009: U modulename/server.h
\nLine 010: $ 

Thats as far as i could figure out. Im pretty sure i did it wrong.

I'm sorry to say that wincvs is outside of my experience range... I know TortiseCVS and normal CVS tho... The line that it's running looks right tho, so it seems especially curious.

so checkout was the right command at least?

[Tank Program]

well, i think, co is the usual tho

For some reason cvs has decided the module you're after is "modulename", when in fact it is "armagetronad". So there's something wrong with your command. Why all the linefeeds in the output? Try getting rid of the linefeed in your commandline.

I think the output comes from the wincvs console window, it does some "decoration". The command

Code: Select all

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/armagetronad checkout armagetronad

itself looks good to me; why don't you try to enter it on the command line? All the CVS wrappers for Windows share the problem that, well, they just wrap a command. There are many things that can go wrong, for example you'll get problems entering a password. That seems not to be the problem in your case, however. Since the output stops at the recently manually deleted $ directory, I suspect some error message is swallowed by winCVS.
