[Daniels, David]

Why don't you use the Windows version?

Subject: Compiling CVS on Windows 2000


Hi,

I have used several hours today trying to compile CVS under
Windows 2000. (That's what I have at work...)
Well, I've been having some problems with that.
Yesterday I also tried using the version of CVS that comes
with DJGPP, but it kept crashing so I couldn't get anything
done. Anyway, I am already getting quite desperate.  :(

Here's the story in short...

I'm using Win2000 and Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0
with Patch Service Pack 5, and I'm tying to build
the sources in "cvs-1.11.1p1.tar.gz".

I had plenty of trouble trying to build through the MS Visual
C++ IDE, but once I had successfully compiled projects "zlibvc.dsp"
and "libdiff.dsp", I ran into trouble with linkage when I was (finally)
trying to build the CVS project: "cvsnt.dsp".
This is the error message:

--------------------Configuration: cvsnt - Win32 Debug--------------------
Linking...
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _annotate
zlib.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _deflateInit_
zlib.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _inflateInit_
zlib.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _inflate
zlib.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _deflate

.\Debug\cvs.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 10 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

cvs.exe - 11 error(s), 0 warning(s)


I also tried using nmake from the top level directory,
but I got the same kind of linkage related error message:

D:\Projects\CVS\cvs-source\cvs-1.11.1p1>vcvars32

I'm open to suggestions...
Has anyone managed to compile CVS with VC++ 6.0 on Win2000 ???

Regards,
