This build handles the CRLF stuff without any hassle (converts \n to \r\n on checkout and back to \n on checkin). It also has allows a pseudo soft-link RCS directory (create a file called RCS which contains the pathname of the appropriate RCS directory where the archive files are really stored). I don't know how well these Win32 versions would work w/ the stdio of cygwin (shell, etc.), though... -----Original Message----- From: Georg Fusz [mailto:fusz@cadlab.tu-berlin.de] Sent: Friday, 3 December 1999 4:10 pm To: earnie_boyd@yahoo.com Cc: Cygnus Mailing List; mingw32@eGroups.com; Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc) Subject: Re: RCS 5.7 make to big *,v-Files Thank you for the hints! The solution was: The RCS package in ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/gnu/devtools/ comes with with an enhancede version of "diff", which can compare files in the DOS- and the UNIX-Style. The "diff" in CygWin can't do that. After changing the sequence in my PATH enviroment variable all works well. I must confess, that there was a hint in the documentation of the RCS-package, but I understood it only after reading your hints. Thank you!
