WinCVS

Getting WinsCVS to work!

I'll start with a dialog based project that does something trivial. It compiles and runs fine; I just want to put it into CVS.

First tidy up the superfluous files and delete the debug directory.

I used MakeClean to do this. This has got rid of most the the "crap". The tree is ready to be put into CVS.

Run Up WinCVS...

On the menu: admin preferences...

I'll be using a CVS tree called test on the NT server Holly.

I login using the menu: admin...

Import the tree to CVS..

menu: create, import module...

The import filter seems to get it right. Note the .ico is a binary file.

Click Continue...

I've changed all the strings for the hell of it. Don't try to be clever and put tag strings in with spaces.

I've set the Globals tab too:

I want the checkout files to be read/write. Click OK.

That worked!

Now I'll delete the source tree and hope CVS is working!

Now to restore the tree.

From the menu: Create, Checkout Module...

Click OK. The tree is restored to my PC.

Now to start doing some changes.

From the development environment, happens to be .Net, I edit and recompile.

The WinCVS app tracks the changes.

I'm happy to check in my changes...

Menu: Modify, Commit selection...

To be continued!
