Re: 5 axis controller

[Brian Pitt <bfp-at-earthlink.net>]

Hi Peter,
the ZipEMC disk didnt ship with the CVS program installed
but we can fix that here

to add CVS to the ZipEMC distro first go to
http://www.cvshome.org/dev/codelinux.html
and download the Linux glibc_2.1 version (~1.4Mb)
move it to /sbin/ directory and change the file permisions
to make it executable with
#chmod 755 cvs 

now as root 
# cd /usr/local
# mkdir nist_CVS                           (or whatever you want to call it)
# cd nist_CVS

then while still online paste these two lines into a terminal window

#cvs -d:pserver:anonymous-at-cvs.EMC.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/EMC login

(hit 'enter' when asked for password)

#cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous-at-cvs.EMC.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/EMC co -P emc 
rcslib

(the lines may wrap in email)
this will get you all the latest source code to work with

tcheuss
Brian
