CVS version control on Linux

[mat127]

Hello,

I am using EA version 6.1.788 under Linux OS with CX Office 5.0.1. During the CVS setup on my client I encountered following problem:

I created a module on the CVS server (running Linux too) and checked out local copy just as Setting Up Version Control white paper says. Then in EA I opened a project, selected the model I wanted to put under version control and opened the "Version Control Configurations" dialog from menu Project->Version Control->Set Version Control Options ... I created a new configuration according to my environment and tried to save it by the button "Save". I received following error:

Error while initializing version control provider:

CVS reports following error:

c:\windows\cvsabb3.bat "C:\TortoiseCVS\cvs95.exe" version

In process list I can see this process:

/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine-preloader /opt/cxoffice/bin/wine-pthread C:\Windows\System\wcmd.exe /c c:\windows\cvsabb3.bat C:\TortoiseCVS\cvs95.exe version

C:\TortoiseCVS\cvs95.exe exists and works fine when run from command line. The same result I got with the CVSNT and even with native Linux cvs.

C:\TortoiseCVS\cvs95.exe version
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1976 (client)

C:\CVSNT\cvs95.exe version
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2354 (client)

Any ideas? Is version control supported on Linux platform?

I have the same exact same problem, did you resolve your problem?

Anyone else know a solution?

Any solution to this error? I am getting it as well (but with subversion).

I had the windows version of subversion installed under crossover and was pointing EA to use that.

I had it installed into C:\Program Files\Subversion which is the default.

It appears that EA doesn't like the space in the file name.  I moved it to C:\Subversion and this error went away.

Cheers
