Installation and setup of CVSNT & WinCVS
- Install CVSNT 2.5.03 (http://www.cvsnt.org), WinCVS (http://www.wincvs.org) & Python (http://www.python.org) or ActiveTCL (http://www.activestate.com), if you want to run a shell in WinCVS.
- Create a folder in your root directory to hold the CVS Repository e.g. c:\cvs.
- Go to Control Panel and click on CVSNT Server icon.
If the CVSNT Service is running, stop it. - Go to Repository configuration, click Add.
- For Location, select the folder you created above in step 2 (name gets filled in automatically).
- Enter a description for the repository if you want to.
- Tick all the options at the bottom.
- Your screen should look something like this:
- Click OK, and then Apply.
- Now you can restart the CVSNT Service.
- In Windows XP, go to System in Control Panel, click Advanced and then click on Environment Variables.
- Add a new variable, using cvsroot as the name, and the path to your cvs repository as the value e.g. c:\cvs.
- Your repository should now be up and running, and you can start to add stuff to your repository.
