[C++-sig] Where to start...

[David LeBlanc]

Using CVS 1.11 command line client:

I set cvsroot.

I did cvs login with no password and it came back without compliant.

I did cvs update -rmpl-development boost/mpl in l:\cvs\boost as you
specified, and it came back virtually instantly without doing anything.

I also tried again to update the boost project with "create missing
directories that exist in the repository" checked, and that didn't do
anything either. I deleted the local boost repository and re-got it. Then I
re-updated it with "create missing directories that exist in the repository"
checked. Nadda.

I do notice that WinCVS is entering the l:\cvs\boost\boost\mpl directories,
but it's not getting anything out of them.

Aaaaaah! ... added "-d" to the above command line to "Build directories,
like checkout does" (as the cvs help said) and viola! t'worked!

(Also turns out that I could have entered the tag in the "-r" box in WinCVS
in lieu of picking one of the presented ones... <sigh>.)

Now if I can just get it to compile...
