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 Ulrich's page about setting up CVS.

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

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

This last command will retrieve the most updated stuff from CVS
