    How do I setup Dev-C++ so I can use the CVS??

      1. Tools menu > Environment options > cvs support tab, browse to your installation of cvs

      2. cvs menu > checkout > repository tab:
              repository: :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dev-cpp
              access method: pserver
              server: cvs.sourceforge.net
              remote directory: /cvsroot/dev-cpp
      3. switch to checkout options:
              Module name: V5/devcpp.exe
              recurse into subdirectories: NOT checked
              checkout directory: browse to where you want stuff saved.

      4. Click 'ok' button

      A console launches that does nothing because its output is redirected to the 'cvs output' tab of the cvs-checkout dialog so switch over to that to see what's happening. Close the dialog when the console closes itself and 'cvs output' tells you it's done.

      devcpp.exe should be in a directory named 'v5' alongside a cvs directory in the directory you wanted it saved.

      Or....

      You could save a lot of hassle and just use cvs from the command line, either with a batch file or using msys.

      More info from devcpp cvs page:

      ...and if you want any other stuff like icons etc then just substitute that in for 'V5/devcpp.exe' in step 3. above. Browse the cvs repository to get the path names you need. If you want to just get the lot then just use 'V5' in step 3. and check the 'recurse into subdirectories' checkbox - that should do it but I haven't tried it myself.
