- what is it?
- RCS, the Revision Control System, manages multiple revisions of
files. RCS can store, retrieve, log, identify, and merge
revisions. It is useful for files that are frequently revised,
e.g. programs, documentation, graphics, and papers.
- system
- WinNT 4.0 SP3 with cygwin32 B19.3 (coolview) and egcs-1.1-cygwin32
- preliminaries
- execute chmod u+w -R on source tree directory to prevent some
error messages by configure
- configure
- works without changes
- make
- in src/conf.sh line 1039 change has_mmap=1 to has_mmap=0
- in src/Makefile change line 90 to look like x = .exe
(found in Erwin Achmann's contribution to the package report)
- make install
- works without changes
- installs to /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/man
- notes
- configure sometimes hangs on 'checking diff basename' when
trying to reconfigure the package after a successful compile.
Just delete the whole source directory and start from scratch.
- the package has been built for binary mounts and not tested on
nonbinary ones. But as RCS internally handles its files in UN*X
LF format I don't expect it to work.
- package availability
- on ftp.franken.de
- in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Weiser_Michael
- as rcs-5.7-cygwin32.tar.gz
