Mounting a PVCS Directory
Before you can mount a PVCS filesystem, you need to install PVCS on your system.
PVCS is not provided with the IDE.
To mount a PVCS directory:
- Choose Versioning
Mount
Version Control
Generic
VCS from the main window to open the New Generic VCS wizard.
- In the Version Control System Profile combo box, select the PVCS configuration
for your platform or for the platform that most closely matches yours.
- In the Working Directory field, type or browse to the directory where you
want to store local files. Be sure to have a file called vcs.cfg
with database information in this directory. If your working directory is
already hooked up to the repository, the rest of the information on this pane
is filled in for you.
- If your package root and your PVCS archive root are not the same, type or
browse to the package root in the Relative Mount Point field.
- Verify that the PVCS Repository Archive field is filled in correctly, with
the repository given in the working directory's vcs.cfg file. Be
sure this directory includes the access.db database and the basecfg.cfg
file. The basecfg.cfg file should specify the location of the access
database in the ACCESSDB directive and the root of the repository directory
in the VCSDIR directive.
- If you want to configure advanced options or environment variables, click
the Next button to view the Advanced and Environment panes of the wizard.
- Click Finish to close the New Generic VCS wizard and mount the filesystem.

In PVCS 6.7, the archive suffix has been changed.
The result is that some commands can be executed in advanced mode only if
the -s parameter is added to the commands. |
