Build doc page on wiki site
Hi,
In my first attempt to download the Geronimo source tree and compile it, I
followed the instructions on the Build documentation page of the wiki site (
http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/Building).
$ maven m:fresh-checkout
BUILD FAILED
File...... C:\Geronimo_prj\maven.xml
Element... ant:cvs
Line...... 212
Column.... 15
java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openejb.org
:/ho
me/projects/openejb/scm -q checkout -P openejb error=2
Total time: 2 seconds
Finished at: Tue Oct 18 12:52:50 EDT 2005
I had to install CVS to go beyond this step. I noticed that the Eclipse
documentation page of the wiki site (
http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/EclipseDeployment) has that info in Step 1.
1. So is CVS a hard prerequisite to be downloaded before building Geronimo
from source ?
2. Would it be okay if I uploaded the wiki page with that info ?
Cheers
Prasad

Prasad, most "unix/linux" based enviorments already have cvs, thats
probably why it was overlooked. But yes, CVS is a requirement as you
will be unable to checkout openejb/tranql from their respecitive cvs
repositories. You don't really need the heavyweight cygwyn, All you
really need is CVSNT. Which you can install from WinCVS as an
independent install.
