Hi Hugh,
Thank you for your response. Maybe I should explain why I needed to
know how to compile GNU-RCS on Windows. I am currently using CS-RCS
front-end on Windows and CVS on Linux for accessing the RCS repository
running on a Windows system. The problem I am encountering is that
when I when I check-in a file with an underscore(_), tilde(~), or
dash(-) using CVS, CS-RCS is display an error message when I try to
view it on CS-RCS.
The displayed error is as follows:
file-name,v - unknown character `-'
or
file_name,v - unknown character `_'
or
filename~,v - unknown character `~',
depending on the character in the file name.
I then traced the "unknown character" in the RCS source code and find
it the rcslex.c file. Inside a switch statement on line 573 and 574,
there's cases for COLON, DIGIT, LETTER, Letter, PERIOD and SPACE, but
not for IDCHAR. Sincer '_', '~' and '-' are all grouped as IDCHAR, and
IDCHAR is missing from those case statements, I thought it could be
the problem. So, I wanted to be able to compile and test it first to
confirm my assumption before reporting it as a bug if it is a bug,
that's why I needed to find out if someone had compile RCS in Windows
before.
Just to explain the problem a bit further, using CS-RCS on its own is
not a problem, file names with the mentioned characters can be
checked-in and out without any problems. Also, using CVS on its own is
not a problem, checking in and out works fine, in fact CVS does show
any problems at all. If a file is added using CS-RCS, checked-out
using CVS and checked-in using CVS, CS-RCS gives the error message. If
a file is imported for the first time using CVS, CS-RCS doesn't have a
problem, only when the file is checked-in using CVS then CS-RCS gives
the error message.
Your help will be appreciated

Well, Cygwin comes with RCS anyway, so I wonder if that would suffice...

this looks to me like a missing library, but I can't see what.
