Using CVS to Download the Code

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

You can get the newest version of GChart with CVS. First, you need to install a CVS client. For Windows users, WinCVS and TortoiseCVS are two excellent CVS clients. If you are farmiliar with CVS, see the Sourceforge page to setup your CVS software. For CVS newbies, I will take WinCVS as the example to show how to use it to get the code.

Before installing WinCVS, you need to install python-2.2.3 and CVSNT. I am not sure whether the newest python supports the newest CVS. You can have a try. After installation, you should configure the CVSROOT according the following steps.

Open “Admin”->”Command Line…” menu. A dialog will appear.

In the dialog, check “CVSROOT” and set its value to

:pserver:anonymous@gchart.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gchart

Click OK.

Next, right click in the left frame and choose “checkout module…”. A dialog will appear. Configure it according to the picture below:

And then click “OK”. WinCVS will download the newest source code into your directory. Have fun!
