[Cvsnt] instructions/hints building 1.11.1.3 with Visual C++ 6.0 ?

Wed Jun 12 16:38:26 BST 2002

Hi,
I had the same wish about a half year ago and asked how to get the
system setup for both CVSNT and CVSGUI.
At the end of this message I will paste in the contents of a document
I made at the time to help me remember what I did. It is basically a
collection of email reponses from the developers on my questions when
I failed to get it up and running.

Note that in order to compile the WinCvs you have to update the submodule
cvsgui\cvs-1.10 to branch CVSGUI111

Since my machine is now 'poisoned' with DOTNET and other stuff I am not sure
what is really needed, so if you can take notes while setting it up I would
be happy to receive those notes afterwards. I will then make a webpage that
describes this setup for others to use.

Anyone have good instructions on building with cvsnt with Visual C++ 6.0?  I
have no experience with Visual Studio, but need to be able to build the
executable.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The following needs to be set up in order to compile various modules:

Visual Studio 6
VS Service Pack 5

CVSNT
------
Install Platform SDK

Ahh forgot that one (it hasn't been needed for the last few days...
I've just re-added it).  You need to unpack the kerberos development
libraries.  There's a zip of the minimum you need on

http://www.cvsnt.org/krb5-1.2.2-cvsnt.bin.zip

Put it wherever you like, and add the include & lib directories to
their respective search paths in visual studio.

=============================================================================
CVSGUI
-------
You should follow the build instructions at:
http://www.cvsgui.org/develop.html

CVS repository anonymous access
- User : anonymous
- Password :
- Host : cvs.cvsgui.sourceforge.net
- Cvsroot : /cvsroot/cvsgui
- In the cvs client, use "pserver" and fill the CVSROOT field with
"anonymous at cvs.cvsgui.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/cvsgui".
- Use cvs login and enter the empty password.
- Issue a "cvs co -c" in the console in order to get the modules available
(WinCvsSrc, MacCvsSrc, GCvsSrc...).
- After checking out the module, you need to update the "cvs-1.10" folder or
"cvsunix" folder with the current branch.
The current branch has the form CVSGUI111X (X is the minor version). Find
out the latest branch using CVS repository. It is currently CVSGUI111.

What you are missing is the update of the cvs-1.10 folder to the CVSGUI111
branch.

You need the TCL and Python headers, and then setup the directories in the
VC++ menu:
Tools -> Options -> Directories(tab)

Add "Include files" (eg. only and may differ depending on your isntallation
of TCL and Python):
C:\PROGRAM FILES\TCL\INCLUDE
C:\PYTHON21\INCLUDE

Then on the same tab add "Library files" (change the combo box selection):
C:\PROGRAM FILES\TCL\LIB
C:\PYTHON21\LIBS

So, to build the WinCvs, at least on my machine, I have:
VC++ 6.0 Enterprise
Visual Studio Service Pack 5
Platform SDK "Core" + "Internet Developement"

You can verify your service pack number by checking the registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0\ServicePacks]

Sp5 can be download from here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/sp/vs6sp5/dnldoverview.asp

Platform SDK can be downloaded here:
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/

You need at least "Core SDK" and "Internet Developemt SDK".

At least that is what I have...

Good Luck,
Jerzy

OK, I have two options for you.

One is to remove the dependency on msxml.idl. You do that by going to "CVS_Coworker.idl"
and commenting out the line:
import "ocidl.idl";

That should do the trick, even thought I am not sure how it affects the final executable.

But before that, try option two - review the paths, mine are (pay attention to the order):
Includes:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\INCLUDE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\ATL\INCLUDE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\TCL\INCLUDE
C:\PYTHON21\INCLUDE
Library:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\lib
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\LIB
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\LIB
C:\PROGRAM FILES\TCL\LIB
C:\PYTHON21\LIBS

And review the SDK options, you can do that by going to the folder you've installed the
PSDK and opening the file:
Default_Local.htm

My full info is here:

Integrate with Microsoft Visual C++- Installed=20=20
Updated: December 2001
If this option is not selected, Microsoft Visual C++ cannot find the SDK headers
and libraries unless you manually add these directories to the search paths.
You may additionally need to set the WINVER, WIN32_IE, WIN32_WINNT, or WIN32_WINDOWS macros
to build your project successfully. (Build 5.1.3590.2)
