For more information on how to set up the Zeus CVS I would do the following:
1) Take a look at the CVS setup tutorial found here:
- Windows Start button
- Programs, Zeus for Windows, Tutorials, CVS Version Control
The tutorial will take you through the process of setting up a local CVS project.
I would suggest only reading this document at present, since the next step will deal with the actual configuration details.
2) Next I would create a dummy project/workspace on your local machine, with just one or two files. Then right mouse click on the project and use the
Add to Source control to add this project to a local CVSROOT location.
The process of adding the project will prompt you to define the CVSROOT location details.
If the create step reports no errors then Zeus will have created the CVS project in the local CVSROOT location and it will also have filled in the version control setting found in the
Workspace, Options menu.
You should take a look at these values and compare them to the tutorial, to get a feel for how the Zeus CVS setup works.
3) Once you have the local CVS working the next step is to setup the CVSROOT, project name, local paths for you remote repository/project .
To do this just construct suitable setup strings based on the information you learned form steps 1 and 2 and add these details to the version control section of the real project workspace using the
Workspace, Options menu.
NOTE: CVS is very particular about the directory structure so when it does not appear to be working this is most probably the reason.
Cheers Jussi.
