I was using cvs from cmd.exe, not from cygwin.
"cvs --version" refererred to http://www.cvsnt.org

I initially fetched a few separate modules. I might have had
incompatible versions.

I also had a go at fetching everything from one big rc3.tar.gx(?) file
and then cvs. Well I think I haven't done it in a very straight
forward way...

I've now fetched everything from scratch from within cygwin.
No problems!

Aha, I was surprized that all modules were placed in the root folder
and not in OpenOffice.
I was trying to do as it is said in
http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_tcsh.html#BuildingaFullBuildofOpenOffice,
 but that can never have worked then (the cvs update part).

Is there a way to find/look at these aliases?

I'll try to use that next time, thanks for the link.
I need to be able to compile first. I'll make a new thread for my
problems with that.

Thanks for the answers, they really help me not to give up.
