    What is this program CVS in Dev-C++ 4.9.9.0 supposed to do? I dont have the EXE-file of this program.

    When will be Dev-C++ 5.0 released?

    Will be a "bult-in" Visual resource editor in the IDE ever implemented?

      Hi,

      >Will be a "bult-in" Visual resource editor in the IDE ever implemented?

      Try 'weditres' of 'lcc-win32', it's for free.
      Type it for a search in google.
      I use it and I#m pretty satisfied with it.
      You can configure it as a tool.

      Take a look at cvshome.org

      Well, Dev 5 has had a Beta status since I have been hanging around here. :-)

      Let me manipulate your expectations and say that there will probably not be a magical version 5.0 that is some perfect new beast. Development is pretty incremental.

      I suspect the answer to the last question is "Whenever someone volunteers and writes one"

      Actually I dont think there will be a final version of Dev-C++. Just my opinion.
      If Dev-C++ is in beta then producers take no responsibility of any damage caused by bugs.

      Thank Dev-group by the way :)

      CVS...that brings back some frustrating memories of my first encounters with it. I think it would help others to provide some guidelines on how to put it to work from Dev-C++ IDE. Some time to put my ideas and the procedure together and I will post back to you...

      Back on CVS:

      A note of warning:

      I do not claim to know everything about CVS, far from that, what follows simply lists the general backbone of the procedure I followed to implement CVS from the Dev-C++ IDE. This will not substitute the many well-written manuals and books on the subject, but can certainly get you started much faster when using Dev-C++ IDE. The steps:

      1) Go to the link below and download the file "cvs-1-12-9.zip" containg the WIN32 version of cvs.exe you need:

      https://ccvs.cvshome.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=83&expandFolder=83&folderID=80

      After downloading, unzip all files to a directory of your choice, for example, unzip to :

      c:\Dev-C++\cvs

      2) Create a new empty directory to hold the CVS repository, for example create it in drive C:
      "c:\cvsrep"

      3) Open a DOS prompt, change you working directory to the directory created in 1), namely, to "C:\Dev-C++\cvs", and run the following command from the prompt:

      "cvs -d c:\cvsrep init"

      which basically creates the structure of your repository.

      4) Open the Dev-C++ IDE and go to: Tools | Environment Options | CVS Support, and browse to set the location of the "cvs.exe" executable, in this case:
      "c:\Dev-C++\cvs\cvs.exe"

      5) Now you need to set the path to your CVS repository in order to import your projects into it. Go to CVS | Import | Repository | Repository and change
      ":local:" to ":local:c:/cvsrep" .*Make sure you change this or you will get but error messages.***
      Import refers to loading a project or files to the repository, while "checkout refers to retrieving it from the repository. Import your project and checkout at least once to make the settings effective.

      The rest you can lern it from trial and error. Before you can call import or checkout you need to open a Dev-C++ project. I recommend you to make back up copies to prevent the lose of data and hours of work before you get confortable with CVS.

      I really never tried CVS until I got tired of having to look for the latest changes made to a piece of code after a couple of months. CVS makes your life lots lots easier in that regard. I hope this help those trying to implement the wonders of CVS, which I find extremely worth the effort and time to learn it.
