How do I use CVS?

Izuil · 2007-03-20 22:05:23

Hi

I wanted to build gstreamer-bad by my self from cvs so that I can use the equilzer in exaile.
The problem is that I don't know how to use cvs to get the files
It only says no cvs_root specified...

How do I do?

Here's a link to the site: http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/gstreamer … ugins-bad/

i think this goes in newbie forum but whatever ...

you should get it to build (it it is possible) with

cd /tmp
cvs co http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad bad
cd bad
./autogen.sh && ./configure
make

then the usual make install or whatever ...

ps: it would be better to write a pkgbuidl to do this in a cleaner way..
unfortunately i have lecture in 5 minutes so i can't realy help with that right now..

---------------------
edit..
have you tried installign the gstreamer0.10 plugins?
i'm sure exaile uses them
pacman -S gstreamer0.10-bad

You are right about the gstreamer plugins. Exaile uses them. The problem is that the equalizer plugin is not included in the newest build of: gstreamer0.10-bad it's only in the cvs at the moment.

Thanks a lot for the help

EDIT:

When running:

$ cvs co http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad bad

I get:

cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option
cvs [checkout aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.

EDIT2:

Okey sorry I didn't read enough.

Found the info i needed here: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/d … l#cvs-anon
Thanks a lot for the help noriko

woops .. that's the svn layout .. not to worry, this is correct ..
cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/gstreamer co gst-plugins-bad

....
i modified the pkgbuild from abs, afaik it should work, unfortunately i can't get it to build as it complains about missing macros and i can't look into it right now...
http://pub.inlane.org/tmp/gstreamer0.10-bad/

you'll most likely need to edit the badconf file and the pkgbuild to change pkg name and configs...

Izuil · 2007-03-21 22:22:35

Didn't quite get that... Can I use the pkgbuild you linked?

Going to sleep, catch up tomorrow.

Thanks once again for the help

np:)
yes .. it's just that the *bad-cvs doesn't build for me ... but other than that as far as i can tell everything else works..

Hmm I can't seem to get it to build either

EDIT: The pkg folder is empty when the package is created, how come?

You shouldn't use the `date` line, versionpkg will handle that for you.
