Is this the right way?

Post by Losingteam » Thu Aug 07, 2003 2:04 pm

Does the method described here >> http://macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewtopic ... 3826#13826 << still work? My results were....


CVSROOT: anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/macroquest (password authentication)
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/macroquest login
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401:/cvsroot/macroquest

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/macroquest co macroquest
cvs [checkout aborted]: Error reading from server cvs.sourceforge.net: 0

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****



In other words. I Did the preferences part, then the login in part. But when it came to the final step of actually downloading it it crashed on me. I had been using this method of getting the files the last 4 times or so. But now it just won't work.

the steps work fine, cvs server does not.

Usually DKAA has the zip updated though, so u could try that...

3. go to the newly created folder C:\MQ and DoubleClick the Macroquest.dsw file
4. It will open up in Visual studio.
