Compiling XWP

Hi all,

I'm Gabriele Gamba and I first of all what to say that I'm totally ignorant about programming! So, what follows is just a draft, that I hope someone more computer literated than me can correct and extend, and I will be very happy to let him the honours for this page :-)

Information listed here comes from progref.inf file included in the XWP's sources and from http://www.xworkplace.org/cvs.html page.

Supposing that you already have a working CVS setup, do this:

1) go in your CVS root folder (e.g. e:\CVS) 2) do "SET CVSROOT=:pserver:guest@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/xworkplace" 3) create a subdirectory in your CVS root directory named "xworkplace (e.g. E:\cvs\xworkplace) 4) change to xworkplace directory and do "SET USER=guest" 5) from the same directory, do "CVS login"; enter "readonly" when you are prompted for password 6) do "cvs checkout -r branch-1-0 ." <-- don't forget the last dot!

This last command will retrieve the most updated stuff from CVS
