Re: Problem building CVS-1.10.x


Steve,

I believe all my files are in the Unix format, not the dos/win eol format???
Well, that's what the editor said the files are in?   I had no end of
trouble when I used Wincvs, as it did the eol conversion and then I used
flip to convert the files - it was not a perfect conversion and always bit
me eventually.  Now I use a simple shell script to upgrade the files which,
for me, has proven to be the best solution.

Just to check my setup, I just did a straight copy of the "samba src" from
my w2K box to my Linux box and it is compiling at this very moment without
errors. That would suggest that the files are in "Unix" format.

The std CD version  is the Cygwin V1.0 CD setup with no mods. Sorry for the
confusion

Trevor
