Step 1) Ignore the SourceForge.net Documentation
Seriously, I don't need it, you don't need it, it's worthless for what
were doing here.
Step 2) Install Tortoise CVS
Get it from the TortoiseCVS homepage.
As far as CVS access software goes, this one is sublime. Only works in
Windows, but I'm sure the Linux and Mac guys out there are used to not
having the simple answers given to them. Wink It installs as a Windows
shell-extension, and all the actions are performed through the regular
right-click menu. It also provides the extra-useful feature of
highlighting all CVS folders green (and conflicted files red and so
on). You will need to reboot for Tortoise to boot up.
Step 3) Retrieving Ogre
To get the most recent copy of Ogre from the CVS, find a spot on hard
drive where you want to stick it, right-click and select CVS Checkout.
Fill in the following info:
* Protocol: Password Server (:pserver:)
* Server: cvs.ogre3d.org
* Port: leave this blank
* Repository folder: /cvsroot/ogre
* User name: anonymous
* Module: ogrenew
This should download the most recent publicly available copy of Ogre
into a folder called ogrenew within the folder you right-clicked in.
Note I say "publicly" available because it can take a while for
changes made to the code to propagate to the public servers you will
be accessing. Only developers can access code that is 100% up-to-date.
4) Updating Ogre
When you want to update your copy of Ogre simply right-click on your
ogrenew folder and select CVS Update. This will automatically update
your copy of Ogre to the most recent version available. Note that if
you have altered any files you may may have to resolve any conflicts
(red files in the Tortoise window) before you can finish updating. An
explanation of conflicts, "diffing", and beyond the scope of this
mini-guide, look elsewhere for that information if you anticipate
making changes to Ogre.
I hope that helps anyone who is having problems setting up the basic
CVS. If you have been added to the project as an ogreaddons developer,
please so my other, similarly named, mini-guide for developers.
