Hi guys,
We have been using modules2 for a longer time to share source code. Lately I have found the following trouble (bug in CVSNT?):
Module TEST wants to use a shared code from ASICAPI
Module ASICAPI uses a shared code from module UMODULES. In such configuration I get always an error
1. If I delete one dependency (i.e. API uses no more UMODULES) than it works. Any idea how to solve this?
modules2:
[CVS_ASICAPI_DB]
"SourceCode/ASIC_API/HAL" = "CVS_UMODULES_DB/ASIC_Drivers/HAL"
[CVS_TEST_DB]
"SourceCode/ASICAPI_LIB" = "CVS_ASICAPI_DB/Release/ASICAPI_LIB"
But that's not enough. I needed to find fast a solution, I spent 4hours reading all the mail discussions and so I decided to use modules instead of modules2. I migrated the dependencies in the following way to the modules file (deleted from modules2):
sh_ASIC_Drivers-ASICAPI -d SourceCode/ASIC_API/HAL CVS_UMODULES_DB/ASIC_Drivers/HAL
CVS_ASICAPI_DB CVS_ASICAPI_DB &sh_ASIC_Drivers-ASICAPI
sh_ASICAPI_LIB-TEST -d SourceCode/ASICAPI_LIB CVS_ASICAPI_DB/SourceCode/Release/ASICAPI_LIB
CVS_TEST_DB CVS_TEST_DB &sh_ASICAPI_LIB-TEST
2. It worked I was happy I thought the suffering is over. BUT when now I try to tag the folder in CVS_ASICAPI_DB/SourceCode/ASIC_API/HAL (which contains several subdirectories) I got an error on a subdirectory on a file: error file not found. But the file is there.... Any idea?
3. Last question we are using 2 repositories and it is possible that we need shared source code from one repository to the other but neither modules2 or modules supports this. Any idea?
I would be very glad if someone could guide me what do I do wrong.
BTW my CVSNT version is 2.5.03 build 2382 (would it help an update to the beta build)?
thanx
Attila
