Is there any way to download the latest source code for Mozart 1.4.0 for Windows XP without using CVS? I need to compile from source because apparently the Windows installer version is incompatible with the Japanese version of Windows XP Professional, which I am using right now; if I can compile from source, this incompatibility may be resolved.
(I posted a follow-up to the earlier "Re: Next Mozart Release?" thread (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.mozart.user/2544) describing a result of a trace for the earlier error message, "Process Oz Emulator exited abnormally with code 5," which had appeared in Emacs, but received no response, so now I am trying to compile Mozart from source to see if this approach will resolve the bug.) According to "6.3 Building Mozart" (see http://www.mozart-oz.org/documentation/install/node9.html#section.cygwin.building): >Now we can get to the real thing. Retrieve the sources from the CVS: > > cvs -d cvs.mozart-oz.org:/services/mozart/CVS get mozart > cvs -d cvs.mozart-oz.org:/services/mozart/CVS get mozart-stdlib > >(specify -r mozart-1-3-0-fixes to get the fixes branch). See >http://www.mozart-oz.org/download/view.cgi?action=cvs for details about >anonymous CVS. Let mozart be the directory created by the first cvs get >command and stdlib the one created by the second. Therefore, apparently I need to set up CVS to download the source code for Mozart 1.4.0. I tried to configure CVS in Cygwin (I prefer to use the command-line version of CVS, not WinCVS), but ran into difficulties in trying to register a public key for a CVS/SSH combination on SourceForge.net so that I could set up a CVS client; _viz._ (from my "Account Maintenance" page): >Shell and CVS services are only available to those users listed as developers >on a project. Then I tried to set up the same on SourceForge.jp (the Japanese site), which allows such registrations for non-developers, but because the explanation for the Display Name wasn't clear, I wound up using the same name as my login name, and now I need to wait for a week for the account to reset so that I can register there with my full name. Any information on a non-CVS approach to downloading the latest source code for Mozart 1.4.0 would be appreciated. -- Benjamin L. Russell -- Benjamin L.
