This section provides information for installing and configuring a CVS client on your system.
After CVS is installed, see the "Configuring CVS in JBuilder" topic below to learn how to configure the connection to CVS in JBuilder.
cvs -version
at the command line.
To install CVS version 1.10.8,
cvs
.
CVS
folder. Look inside that for the Windows NT/2000 folder.
cvs
folder.
This will install CVS in the folder. When the installation is complete, configure your computer to recognize the CVS installation:
sysedit
in the text field. This will bring up all system files.
autoexec.bat
file.
SET PATH
line to the CVS executable. If CVS is installed at the root of the C:
drive, your line of code will look like this:
SET PATH=C:\CVS;%PATH%
autoexec.bat
file.
To install CVS version 1.10.8,
cvs
.
CVS

When the installation is complete, configure your computer to recognize the CVS installation:
System
.
PATH
environment variable under System Variables.
PATH
environment variable,
edit it so that it includes your CVS path. For example, if C:\cvs
is the path to your installation, simply add C:\cvs;
(including the semicolon) to the current PATH
value.
PATH
environment variable, you may set a path to your CVS installation by typing cvs into the Variable text entry field and typing the path to it in the Value text entry field. In our example, the path is C:\cvs
. You don't need the semicolon because it is not one in a series of paths, but a path by itself.
If you're interested in installing a CVS server on Windows NT, there is a readme file in the ZIP archive that tells you how to do so.
To install CVS version 1.10.8,
cvs
.
CVS
folder. Look inside that for the Windows NT/2000 folder.
cvs
folder.
This will install CVS in the folder. When the installation is complete, configure your computer to recognize the CVS installation:
cvs.exe
file and a semicolon right before %PATH%
. For example, if C:\cvs
is the path to your installation, the entry would look like this: C:\cvs;%PATH%
.
To install CVS on a Solaris platform,
su
at the command line to switch to your system root.
pkgadd -d cvs-1.10.7.sol7-sparc-local
This will install CVS version 1.10.7 from the Companion Tools CD onto your system root.
Solaris users may use the version of CVS that Sunfreeware.com provides for your specific platform instead. Go to http://sunfreeware.com/ and choose your platform from the column in the upper right of the page. Then choose the available version of CVS in the lower right column. See the installation instructions at http://sunfreeware.com/download.html to learn how to install it correctly from that site.
If CVS is already installed and in the system path, then you probably don't need to make further modifications. Verify that CVS is in your system path and that you are using version 1.10.7 or 1.10.8 by entering cvs -version
at the command prompt.
If CVS is installed outside of the system path, such as in your home directory,
PATH
environment variable in your shell's init
file.
PATH
environment variable. Separate the directories for the PATH
specification with a colon.
To install CVS on a Linux platform,
su
at the command line to switch to the system root.
rpm -Uvh cvs-1.10.7-7.i386.rpm
This will install CVS version 1.10.7 from the Companion Tools CD onto your system root.
The Linux version of CVS on the Companion Tools CD is tested and verified by Red Hat and is expected to be compatible with any RPM-based system.
If CVS is already installed and in the system path, then you probably don't need to make further modifications. Verify that CVS is in your system path and that you are using version 1.10.7 or 1.10.8 by entering cvs -version
at the command prompt.
You can download CVS from http://www.cvshome.org/. Use either version 1.10.7 or 1.10.8 with JBuilder 4.
To set the default CVS root path in JBuilder,
CVSROOT
variable for that connection. CVSROOT
variables are constructed as follows:
Connection type | CVSROOT syntax |
---|---|
Local | :local:[repository path] |
PServer | :pserver:[username]@[server name]:[repository path] |
Ext | :ext:[username]@[server name]:[repository path] |
You can set different connection properties for individual projects by selecting Team|Configure Version Control when you have the target project open in the AppBrowser.
