WinCVS 2.0.2.4 (build 4)

by Jonathon Stevens · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 09/28/2006 (7:37 pm) · 12 replies

I had WinCVS 1.3 working fine, but when I moved to 2.0 everything went to hell in a handbag.

I know they removed the admin preferences, but when I enter the proper cvsroot under admin->login (at the bottom) which I put :pserver:myloginname@cvs.garagegames.com:/cvs/tse

I get the following error:

cvs -d :pserver:myloginname@cvs.garagegames.com:/cvs/tse login 
Unable to initialize the CVS process: The system cannot find the file specified.
The CVS used is : cvs.exe

Thoughts?

    Try reinstalling WinCVS? Or ensure you have CVSNT installed (the base code on which WinCVS is built).

    I haven't been able to get the latest vesrion of WinCVS working either so I reverted to the old version listed in the TDN article.

    Yeah, I reverted to 1.3 rather than fight with 2.0 also. I just need it to work, the version is not important to me.

    @Ryan - I reinstalled WinCVS a few times and attempted to get it to work a few different ways to no avail. You can't install WinCVS without installing CVSNT anymore, it is grayed out.

    I did end up going back to version 1.3 and that works fine, but it'd be nice to get the latest release's bug fixes and features, so if anyone can resolve this, that'd be great!

    Hi,

    For the cvs root in the checkout dialog use

    :pserver;username=whatever;password=whatever;hostname=cvs.garagegames.com:/cvs/tse

    Obviously replace "whatever" with your correct username and password :-)

    Dave.

    I'll have to note that.
    I'm using an older version of WinCVS 2, 2.0.0.2[build 2]
    and specify my cvsroot as
    :pserver:myloginname@cvs.garagegames.com:/cvs/tse

    works without problem.

    I agree, SVN is much easier to use .

    Can someone put this update into the wiki? it really does belong in TDN next to the other directions.

    I think someone did... they essentially copied one of my posts (explaining the quick and dirty instructions) into the wiki... not sure which page though.
