WinCVS Setup

Note, you need to be using WinCVS 1.2 for these instructions to work, and 1.3 has issues

Ok, go to Admin-->Preferences

In the CVS root, enter the following:
_____inquisitor@warpcore.org:/home/fs2source/cvsroot
Where you replace Inquisitor your username. Anon users type :
_____anonymous@warpcore.org:/home/fs2source/cvsroot

Authentication is: Password file on CVS server. Then click on the WinCVS tab, and in the home folder, pick a folder on your hard drive.
Click ok to close the dialog.

Make sure the path you selected is reflected in the path dialog in the tool bar, the select the Admin menu again.

Admin-->Login
Type your password, in the case of anonymous users, this password is anonymous.
In the Feedback/Console window at the bottom, it should say something like:
"CVS exited with code 0"
That means you are logged in.

Now, you need to get set up for the first time, back to the menus:

Create-->Checkout Module
In the "module to check out" field, type "fs2_open"

Verify that the path is correct in the path field. Click the "Checkout options" tab.

This is where you would specify a branch, in our case we have only the one leave this blank if you don;t want the directx build (it will be merged soon anyway), if you are working with the branch, you can type "directx8" here.

The globals tab you can tweak, but the defaults are fine. Click ok and start downloading the code!

It's that easy. when you want to grab a fresh copy, you simply right click on the folder you want to update in the CVS window, and select update, it will merge any code changes with yours, and life will be good

Commits will be covered later
