Zeus IDE

Hi all.

I knew about Zeus looking for a solution to integrate MS Visual Studio .NET and CVS. I've seen the Zeus SCC-SVS has been removed but it is still distributed with the Zeus Editor release (After installing the editor I can see I have this source control provider through the xScc utility).

The problem is I cannot make it work under MS Visual Studio 2k3. The error message I get is written in my home language but it says something like:

"Error initializing the source control provider Zeus SCC-CVS. It is not possible to use this provider to perform source control operations."

In addition, when I select that provider in xScc and click the Query button I get this message: "A non-specific failure has occurred."

None of the error messages is too much specific...

Did anyone make it work with MS VS .NET? Is it possible? Any suggestion?

I thought that SCC was a standrad...

Thank you very much.

I thought that SCC was a standard...

The Microsoft SCC interface is nothing more than an header file and a 5 page document. In theory it could work as a standard interface but in practice the interface is documented so vaguely it is quite difficult to correctly implement the standard SCC interface.

The Zeus SCC-CVS has only been tested against Zeus itself and will most probably not work with other SCC compliant IDE's.

If I remember correctly I recall seeing links to other SCC CVS modules on the CVS home page. These might be a better option.

Cheers Jussi
