I would actually recommend JDK 1.3, from www.javasoft.com.


I compiled like this

cd rcslib/src/java

make PLAT=java JDK_DIR=/usr/java/jdk1.3 
JAVA_COMPILER=/usr/java/jdk1.3/bin/javac JAR=/usr/java/jdk1.3/bin/jar

You could also edit java.def to set JDK_DIR, JAVA_COMPILER, and JAR and 
then just run

make PLAT=java

on the command line.

win32msc is the platform that requires a  32 bit Windows operating 
systems ( which includes 95,98, 2000, NT, & ME but not Windows 3.1 or 
earlier) and Microsoft Visual C++ (5.0 or better).

There are CVS clients for Windows from www.cvshome.org or you can use 
some form of file sharing so you can check the files out under linux and 
access the files under Windows.

After the files are downloaded and Visual C++ installed.

cd rcslib\etc\win32msc

and run

ntsetup.bat

This changes a couple of configuration settings that tells Visual C++ to 
complile .cc and .hh files as C++. (Sometimes this doesn't work and you 
may need to manually edit the settings with regedit using cppext.reg as 
a guide)

Open the developer studio workspace rcs.dsw and select build from the 
project menu.
