2.2. Compiling the tools
If you are compiling from the sources, follow these instructions.
If you downloaded binaries, skip ahead to Section 2.2.2.
2.2.1. Compiling CVS
After you have downloaded the CVS sources, unpack them into a
directory and cd into it. The default prefix is
/usr/local; we've changed it
to /usr for this example.
You might want to change mandir to wherever
your man pages reside (the default is
PREFIX/man).
2.2.2. Compiling cvsd
There are a few configure switches you should be aware of here.
The default prefix is /usr/local,
which in this document we are changing to /usr.
You should also change sysconfdir to
/etc, where the system
config files usually reside. You might want to change
mandir to wherever your manual pages reside as
well.
Now lets go on to setting up these wonderful tools.
