- First, read the README file. If you're still happy...
- First you need to obtain and install the CVS executables. If you got
- a distribution which contains executables, consult the installation
- instructions for that distribution. If you got source code, do not
- panic. On many platforms building CVS from source code is a
- straightforward process requiring no programming knowledge. See the
- section BUILDING FROM SOURCE CODE at the end of this file, which
- includes a list of platforms which have been tested.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1) Take a look at the CVS documentation, if desired. For most
- purposes you want doc/cvs.texinfo, also known as _Version Management
- with CVS_ by Per Cederqvist et al. Looking at it might be as simple
- as "info cvs" but this will depend on your installation; see README
- for more details.
- See what CVS can do for you, and if it fits your environment (or can
- possibly be made to fit your environment). If things look good,
- continue on. Alternately, just give CVS a try first then figure out
- what it is good for.
- 2) Set the CVSROOT environment variable to where you want to put your
- source repository. See the "Setting up the repository" section of
- the Cederqvist manual for details, but the quick summary is just to
- pick some directory. We'll use /src/master as an example. For
- users of a POSIX shell (sh/bash/ksh) on unix, the following
- commands can be placed in user's ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile file;
- or in the site-wide /etc/profile:
- CVSROOT=/src/master; export CVSROOT
- For C shell users on unix place the following commands in the
- user's ~/.cshrc, ~/.login, or /etc/chsrc file:
- setenv CVSROOT /src/master
- For Windows users, supposing the repository will be in
- d:srcmaster, place the following line in c:autoexec.bat. On
- Windows 95, autoexec.bat might not already exist. In that case,
- just create a new file containing the following line.
- set CVSROOT=:local:d:srcmaster
- If these environment variables are not already set in your current
- shell, set them now by typing the above line at the command prompt
- (or source the login script you just edited).
- The instructions for the remaining steps assume that you have set
- the CVSROOT environment variable.
- 3) Create the master source repository. Again, the details are in
- the "Setting up the repository" section of cvs.texinfo; the
- one-line summary is:
- $ cvs init
- In this and subsequent examples we use "$" to indicate the command
- prompt; do not type the "$".
- 4) It might be a good idea to jump right in and put some sources or
- documents directly under CVS control. From within the top-level
- directory of your source tree, run the following commands:
- $ cvs import -m "test distribution" ccvs CVS_DIST CVS-TEST
- (Those last three items are, respectively, a repository location, a
- "vendor tag", and a "release tag". You don't need to understand
- them yet, but read the section "Starting new projects" in the
- Cederqvist manual for details).
- 5) Having done step 4, one should be able to checkout a fresh copy of the
- sources you just imported and hack away at the sources with the
- following command:
- $ cd
- $ cvs checkout ccvs
- This will make the directory "ccvs" in your current directory and
- populate it with the appropriate files and directories.
- 6) You may wish to customize the various administrative files, in particular
- modules. See the Cederqvist manual for details.
- 7) Read the NEWS file to see what's new.
- 8) Hack away.

- BUILDING FROM SOURCE CODE
- Tested platforms
- CVS has been tested on the following platforms. The most recent
- version of CVS reported to have been tested is indicated, but more
- recent versions of CVS probably will work too. Please send updates to
- this list to bug-cvs@gnu.org (doing so in the form of a diff
- to this file, or at least exact suggested text, is encouraged).
- "tested" means, at a minimum, that CVS compiles and appears to work on
- simple (manual) testing. In many cases it also means "make check"
- and/or "make remotecheck" passes, but we don't try to list the
- platforms for which that is true.

- (footnote 7) Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@pilgrim.umass.edu> reports
- success with this configure command:
- CC=cc CFLAGS='-O2 -Olimit 2000 -std1' ./configure --verbose alpha-dec-osf
- (footnote 8) Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@pilgrim.umass.edu> reports
- success with this configure command:
- CC=cc CFLAGS='+O2 -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE' ./configure --verbose hppa1.1-hp-hpux
- (footnote 9)
- Had to configure with ./configure --host=<arch>-lynx.
- In src/cvs.h, protected the waitpid prototype with ifdef _POSIX_SOURCE.
- (I might try building with gcc -mposix -D_POSIX_SOURCE.)
- LynxOS has <dirent.h>, but you don't want to use it.
- You want to use <sys/dir.h> instead.
- So after running configure I had to undef HAVE_DIRENT_H and
- define HAVE_SYS_DIR_H.
- (footnote 10)
- Had to compile with "make LIBS=-lbsd" (to get gethostbyname
- and getservbyname).
- (footnote 11)
- when I do a `cvs init' I get this message:
- ci: 'RCS/loginfo,v' is not a regular file
- ci: RCS/loginfo,v: Invalid argument
- cvs [init aborted]: failed to checkin n:/safe/CVSROOT/loginfo
- (footnote 12)
- Need to `configure --without-gssapi' unless you have installed Kerberos 5
- libraries on the system yourself. For some reason Apple ships OS X with
- the Kerberos 5 headers installed and not the libraries, which confuses the
- current configure script. Some HP, BSD, & Sun boxes have similar problems.
- (footnote 13)
- A build under HP PA-RISC 2.0 will probably not run under PA-RISC 1.1
- unless "+DAportable" is added to the HP ANSI cc compiler flags.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Building from source code under Unix:
- 1) Run "configure":
- $ ./configure
- You can specify an alternate destination to override the default with
- the --prefix option:
- $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnu
- or some path that is more appropriate for your site. The default prefix
- value is "/usr/local", with binaries in sub-directory "bin", manual
- pages in sub-directory "man", and libraries in sub-directory "lib".
- A normal build of CVS will create an executable which supports
- local, server, or client CVS (if you don't know the difference,
- it is described in the Repository chapter of doc/cvs.texinfo). If
- you do not intend to use client or server CVS, you may want to
- prevent these features from being included in the executable you
- build. You can do this with the --disable-client and
- --disable-server options:
- $ ./configure --disable-client --disable-server
- Typically this can reduce the size of the executable by around 30%.
- If you are building CVS with the server enabled, you can disable
- server flow control using the --disable-server-flow-control
- If you are working with a large remote repository and a 'cvs
- checkout' is swamping your network and memory, enable flow control.
- You will end up with even less probability of a consistent checkout
- (see Concurrency in cvs.texinfo), but CVS doesn't try to guarantee
- that anyway. The master server process will monitor how far it is
- getting behind, if it reaches the high water mark, it will signal
- the child process to stop generating data when convenient (ie: no
- locks are held, currently at the beginning of a new directory).
- Once the buffer has drained sufficiently to reach the low water
- mark, it will be signalled to start again. You may override the
- default hi/low watermarks here too by passing
- '<lowwater>,<highwater>', in bytes, as an argument to
- --enable-server-flow-control. The low water mark defaults to one
- megabyte and the high water mark defaults to two megabytes.
- $ ./configure --enable-server-flow-control=1M,2M
- The --with-tmpdir argument to configure may be used to set a
- specific directory for use as a default temporary directory. If not
- set, configure will pick the first directory it finds which it has
- read, write, and execute permissions to from $TMPDIR, $TMP, $TEMP,
- /tmp, and /var/tmp, in that order. Failing that, it will use /tmp.
- The --with-umask argument to configure can be used to change
- the default umask used by the CVS server executable.
- Unlike previous versions of CVS, you do not need to install RCS
- or GNU diff.
- If you are using gcc and are planning to modify CVS, you may want to
- configure with -Wall; see the file HACKING for details.
- If you have Kerberos 4 installed, you can specify the location of
- the header files and libraries using the --with-krb4=DIR option.
- DIR should be a directory with subdirectories include and lib
- holding the Kerberos 4 header files and libraries, respectively.
- The default value is /usr/kerberos.
- If you want to enable support for encryption over Kerberos, use
- the --enable-encryption option. This option is disabled by
- default.
- If you want to disable automatic dependency tracking in the makefiles,
- use the '--disable-dependency-tracking' option:
- $ ./configure --disable-dependency-tracking
- This avoids problems on some platforms. See the note at the end of this
- file on BSD.
- Try './configure --help' for further information on its usage.
- NOTE ON CVS's USE OF NDBM:
- By default, CVS uses some built-in ndbm emulation code to allow
- CVS to work in a heterogeneous environment. However, if you have
- a very large modules database, this may not work well. You will
- need to supply the --disable-cvs-ndbm option to configure to
- accomplish this. If you do this, the following comments apply. If
- not, you may safely skip these comments.
- If you configure CVS to use the real ndbm(3) libraries and
- you do not have them installed in a "normal" place, you will
- probably want to get the GNU version of ndbm (gdbm) and install
- that before running the CVS configure script. Be aware that the
- GDBM 1.5 release does NOT install the <ndbm.h> header file included
- with the release automatically. You may have to install it by hand.
- If you configure CVS to use the ndbm(3) libraries, you cannot
- compile CVS with GNU cc (gcc) on Sun-4 SPARC systems. However, gcc
- 2.0 may have fixed this limitation if -fpcc-struct-return is
- defined. When using gcc on other systems to compile CVS, you *may*
- need to specify the -fpcc-struct-return option to gcc (you will
- *know* you have to if "cvs checkout" core dumps in some ndbm
- function). You can do this as follows:
- $ CC='gcc -fpcc-struct-return' ./configure
- for sh, bash, and ksh users and:
- % setenv CC 'gcc -fpcc-struct-return'
- % ./configure
- for csh and tcsh users.
- END OF NOTE FOR NDBM GUNK.
- 2) Try to build it:
- $ make
- This will (hopefully) make the needed CVS binaries within the
- "src" directory. If something fails for your system, and you want
- to submit a bug report, you may wish to include your
- "config.status" file, your host type, operating system and
- compiler information, make output, and anything else you think
- will be helpful.
- 3) Run the regression tests (optional).
- You may also wish to validate the correctness of the new binary by
- running the regression tests. If they succeed, that is nice to
- know. However, if they fail, it doesn't tell you much. Often it
- will just be a problem with running the tests on your machine,
- rather than a problem with CVS. Unless you will have the time to
- determine which of the two it is in case of failure, you might
- want to save yourself the time and just not run the tests.
- If you want to run the tests, see the file TESTS for more information.
- 4) Install the binaries/documentation:
- $ make install
- Depending on your installation's configuration, you may need to be
- root to do this.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Detailed information about your interaction with "configure":
- The "configure" script and its interaction with its options and the
- environment is described here. For more detailed documentation about
- "configure", please run `./configure --help' or refer to the GNU Autoconf
- documentation.
- Supported options are:
- --srcdir=DIR Useful for compiling on many different
- machines sharing one source tree.
- --prefix=DIR The root of where to install the
- various pieces of CVS (/usr/local).
- --exec_prefix=DIR If you want executables in a
- host-dependent place and shared
- things in a host-independent place.
- The following environment variables override configure's default
- behaviour:
- CC If not set, tries to use gcc first,
- then cc. Also tries to use "-g -O"
- as options, backing down to -g
- alone if that doesn't work.
- INSTALL If not set, tries to use "install", then
- "./install-sh" as a final choice.
- RANLIB If not set, tries to determine if "ranlib"
- is available, choosing "echo" if it doesn't
- appear to be.
- YACC If not set, tries to determine if "bison"
- is available, choosing "yacc" if it doesn't
- appear to be.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Building from source code under Windows NT/95/98/2000:
- You may find interesting information in windows-NT/README.
- * Using Microsoft Visual C++ 5.x+.
- 1) Using Microsoft Visual C++ 5.x+, open the project `cvsnt.dsw',
- in the top directory of the CVS distribution. If you have an older
- version of Visual C++, take a look at windows-NT/README.
- 2) Choose "Build cvs.exe" from the "Project" menu.
- 3) MSVC will place the executable file cvs.exe in WinRel, or whatever
- your target directory is.
- * From the top level directory, with MSVC++ 5.x+ installed, something like the
- following also works:
- C:> vcvars32
- C:> nmake /f cvsnt.mak CFG="cvsnt - Win32 Debug"
- * Using the Cygwin development environment <http://cygwin.com>, Windows clients
- and servers can be built using the instructions for building on UNIX. For
- deploying the CVS server on Windows NT, see the `cygrunsrv' executable that
- comes with Cygwin.
- * You might also try <http://wincvs.org> & <http://www.cvsnt.org>.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Building from source code under other platforms:
- For OS/2, see os2/README and emx/README.
- For VMS, see README.VMS
- Mac OS X: Builds fine, just like UNIX.
- For older versions of Mac OS, you might try <http://wincvs.org>.
- For a Java client, see jCVS (which is a separate package from CVS
- itself, but which might be preferable to the Macintosh port mentioned
- above, for example).
