Using VS2005 and CVS

[Nebster]

I was wondering how you can get the source code off CVS and compile it on windows. I found instructions somewhere for linux but not for windows.

Also would i be able to test the multiplayer by getting the source off CVS?

The instructions for "checking out" files on CVS or SVN should be the similar on Windows. There might be a difference in the client used.

To compile  glest using VS there is a few posts on this forum with instructions, just do a search. The multiplayer is being developed on the Glevolution project. It contains a project file for code::blocks in the SVN /branches/glevol_multiplayer.

To compile successfully you will need all the dependencies which are stated on the Glest Wikia.

I managed to do that but I had to install Codeblocks, VS2003 and VS6 aswell which I did not want to do. I got it all working except when trying to create the server and start a multiplayer client.

I get the error:
Crash
Version: v1.0.0 beta
Time: Sat Feb 24 12:06:06 2007
Description: Access violation (Reading address 0x1c)

Has anyone managed to compile the glevolution server?
Could they zip it up, upload it and post a link?
Cos I think I fixed the bug in the source of the client but I need to check
