WinCVS Settings for getting Source Code
How to get all files through WinCVS and a SSH
These are the preferences used to get WinCVS to grab the AWARENESS files.
This following is a diagram of the heirarchy of the settings. At the top of WinCVS is 'File', 'Edit', ect. Click on 'Admin' and use the same settings as used below, substituting information specific to your computer, and your use (ex: yourpid = the pid you use).
- Admin
- Preferences
- General
- CVSROOT: yourpid@java.cs.vt.edu:/home/cvs/cvsroot
- Authentication: SSH Server
- Use Version: CVS 1.10 (Standard)
- Globals
- CHECK for Checkout read-only
- CHECK for Supply control when adding files
- CHECK for Dirty files support
- CHECK for Prune
- (Every thing else left unchecked)
- Ports
- CHECK for an alternate rsh name (put in the name of your environment variable for you SSH; ex: "ssh2". The other alternative is to enter the absolute path to your .exe for SSH; ex: C:\foo\bar\SSH.exe)
- (Every thing else left unchecked)
- Proxy (SAME)
- WinCVS (SAME)
- Default viewer used to open files: Notepad
- HOME folder: C:\
- (Every thing else left unchecked)
After 'Admin' click on Create and follow the settings again.
- Create
- Checkout Module
- Checkout Settings
- Enter the module name & path on server: linc
- LocalFolder to checkout to: C:\ (or other absolute location if wanted)
- (Every thing else left unchecked)
- Checkout Options
- Do NOT click "Force using the current CVS ROOT (-d)"
- (Every thing left unchecked)
- General (SAME, it should be set from things done in Admin)
- Globals (SAME, it should be set from things done in Admin)
The next step is to hit okay on the Create-->Checkout Module, then enter password when the CMD prompt comes up.
