RE: RCS executables? (need merge)


Hi John,

I also had trouble a long time ago building RCS on Cygwin (ever since
B20.x), but with help from a lot of people, I managed to do it. I recently
upgraded to Cygwin 1.1.2 (still waiting for the newer libs to get more
stable...), and had to recompile RCS 5.7 one more time. However, having
learned from experience, this time things went really smooth.

All I had to to was: download sources, apply the patch attached to this
message, make and make install. It works like a charm.

If you want it, I can send you only the executable for merge. It's up to
you.

HTH.

Best,

Andre
