I am new to CVS and i'm trying to get it sorted. I have a project at sourceforge which is a maths puzzle game that i never gotaround to finishing and I have access to a CVS repository there which I will try and use for this game.

I type this into bash:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@crimsonmaths.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/crimsonmaths login
and get:
cvs login: authorization failed: server crimsonmaths.cvs.sourceforge.net rejected access to /cvsroot/crimsonmaths for user anonymous

sourceforge says the password is empty and to just press enter but this doesn't seem to work. If anyone knows what I am doing wrong then it would be good to know.

I haven't used sourceforge before, but I would've thought you'd get a proper username to use instead of anonymous? (like crimsonmaths again perhaps)

That CVSROOT doesn't work for me either

You may be interested in the CVS cheat sheet if you insist on working from the command line. However, I highly reccommend that instead of this you use an integrated IDE that has a CVS client included such as Eclipse (although I realise that C++ support in Eclipse is appalling, or at least it was the last time I looked at this). This saves a lot of hassle by including a merge client and is definitely a must-have for a project that has concurrent development.

i will look for one, if it exists on linux

The only one I can suggest on Linux is Eclipse, you can get integrated packages that come with all the C++ plugins already installed now from... somewhere Smile

I think if you're using KDE on linux there's something built in. Think you can enable it as a toolbar button it's called Cervisia

i have found one for Gnome called GCVS, hopefully that will work

Somehow managed to get it to work on command line, so here is the location of the main file:

As of the coding session on tuesday (14th) 'main' project is now up on the society CVS (login details here)

Theres not much in the way of a game yet, but the project does load terrain from a height map, and should compile under both windows and linux. Next stage is (I think...) incorporating the AI and fluid prototypes into this version...

by **richardhp** » Thu Nov 30, 2006 12:19 pm

what's the module name?

by **Brodders** » Thu Nov 30, 2006 3:48 pm

Yeah, probably should have metioned that - it's "UN Game"...

cheers

i have worked out how to checkout the module, so i have a working version of the code which is good, but i am working on some levels and some graphics but i have no idea how to add them to the project.
can i email them to someone or could someone tell me how to upload on cvs?

Have a look under section 3 of this tutorial. Basically go into your CVS directory, and type

Code: Select all: cvs add new_filename cvs commit

CVS

cvs
