Hi,

I sent the below to the cvs-dev mailing list, but it doesn't seem to
have been recieved. Have I got the address right?

Also, if I'm patching update.cpp, then I assume the only built binary I
need to copy across to my live system is cvs.exe, or do I need to copy
any others?

Rgds,
Andy

Subject: Building CVSNT on WinXP

Hi,

I've just managed to build CVS for the first time. I'm building on WinXP
using MSVC.NET 2003. There were quite a few warnings as mentioned in
Bo's CompileOnWindows.txt. However, the mkmanifest.exe fails with an
error every time it's run during the build process. Is this expected?
Should I worry about it?

Having got the built binaries I compared them to the released
(2.5.03.2382) binaries and found they were all completely different. I
guess the release binaries were built on a *nix system rather than on
Windows? Surely they should still produce the same binary if built for
the same OS?

Rgds,
Andy
