I've got a CVS Win2k Server, yes, I know its stupid to not put it on a unix computer, not my call.
I want to connect to with from Windows computer vi cygwin, WinCVS... This works I also want to connect from Uninx(FreeBSD) to it with gcvs, cvs vi. As I understand it, as of 1.10 or about, they broke parsing of the command line so :pserver:user@host:d:/cvsroot doesn't work on the unix clients. I've heard that you need to downgrade to a release before this. FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE ships with 1.11.1p1-FreeBSD (client/server) Current is 1.11.2 I've never in my life spread across the last 5 years sucessfully compiled cvs on FreeBSD. The binary packages are too var ahead. aka /stand/sysinstall As are the ports. The relavent line src/root.c:501 is where the port gets parsed in recent versions, one would think I could cd /usr/src/contrib/cvs/src edit it cd ../ make make install but no, there is no Makefile there. Short of doing a full buildworld, since I just did that to get from 4.6->4.7 how can I just do it for cvs. I've got the expertise to fix the file my self. Thanks for your help. Damn this is annoying.
