[cvsnt-dev] Problems building CVSNT_BRANCH_2_5_03_2382

[Arthur Barrett]

Eric,

IF you want to do us a big favour - build 2_0_x branch instead and then use 
winmerge to merge in the 'message to bugs' stuff from the 2503 branch - it's 
all in commit.cpp and i think you've got the hang of the code.  Then if you 
can build 2.5.04 (the 2_0_x branch) with the 'message to bugs' stuff in it 
then Tony or I can give your commit access to cvs.cvsnt.org and you can 
commit it as a change and then the next 2.5.04 build will have that code in 
it.  Tony and i are struggling for time these days so every bit of work like 
this that someone else volunteers for is a real help to the entire 
community.

Tony and I use bash scripts to automate it all.  You 'may' be able to do a 
simple debug build without it...

There is a program (genbuild or something) that creates it - it's the first 
file in the build

Yes - there are tags for each build and the 2503 branch has all the 2503 
builds since 2382 on it.
