MPLAB

IDE User’s Guide

An example of performing the checkout is listed below:

$ cd DirABOVEWhereIWantMySrcTree

$ cvs checkout MyProject

cvs server: Updating MyProject

U MyProject/main.c

U MyProject/such-and-such-a-file.c

U MyProject/foo.h

It is important that you give this command from above the directory where you want

your source tree to reside, because CVS will actually create the entire source tree

within the current working directory.

4.6.3.3 ADDING A NEW DIRECTORY

You can use the cvs add command from within MPLAB IDE to add new source files

as long as the required directory structure already exists in the repository. The add

command will NOT work on a file if any of the required directories don't exist in the

repository.

To create the directory structure in the repository, you must use the cvs import

command once again. An example of this is as follows:

$ cd TopOfSrcTree

$ cvs import -m "message" MyProject/NewSubDir VendorTag ReleaseTag

N MyProject/NewSubDir/yet-another-file.h

No conflicts created by this import

Once again, you should give this command from within the directory that is the top-level

directory of your source tree. But this time, when you specify the directory within the

repository, you should give the path in the repository that will represent the new

directory that you are adding. (That is what MyProject/NewSubDir represents in this

example.)

4.6.4 Subversion

Having some knowledge of Subversion and MPLAB IDE is necessary to use

Subversion from within MPLAB IDE.

For more information on this version control system, please see the related web site.

• Subversion: http://subversion.tigris.org/

If your source files aren't already in the repository, you will have to import them to get

started. This creates the directory structure in the repository and places all of the files

there as well.

CAUTION

Do not place the workspace (MCW) or build-state (MCS) files on the repository.

MPLAB IDE needs to be able to write to these files while running.
