WinCVS help needed

by Robert Skinner · in General Discussion · 03/27/2002 (4:29 pm) · 4 replies

I'm trying to get the WinCVS working so I can download the source code. I installed ActiveTcl 8.3.4.2 and then WinCVS 1.2 afterwards. I configured the General and global tads as described in the instructions found here in the garagegames site but get the following error. (i cleared out my login ID for this post)

CVSROOT: loginid@cvs.garagegames.com/cvs/torque (password authentication)
TCL is *not* available, shell is disabled

It appears the WinCVS software doesn't see the TCL software. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Their is a little bit more to the message. I'll print the whole thing here. The only thing I changed from the actual message is the login ID to LoginID. One again any help is appreciated.

Robert, your CVS root should be:

Nomad@cvs.garagegames.com:/cvs/torque

Thanks Tim,

It was that little : that I repeatedly overlooked.
