One reason one might use cvs to get the OpenBSD sources is to build
the system using these sources.

Google's first result (for me, hard to tell these days what other people will
get - with the Google filter bubble):

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#snake

It's hard to tell from your email what step(s) you've followed, so it's hard
to help you.

$ ls -F src/games/snake/

did you `make build' without `make obj' first?

--patrick

I'm not sure why I would do that. CVS doesn't build anything. Can you 
explain a bit about why you suggest that? Please excuse me if I don't know 
what you mean.

$ ls -F src/games/snake/

did you `make build' without `make obj' first?

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you suggesting I should read up on how to
operate cvs, or is there something specific about CVS and OPenBSD I should
be aware of? I'm following the faq. I have updated several times in the past
with CVS with no trouble at all.

and have seen cvs abort:



cvs checkout: Updating src/games/snake
cvs [chckout aborted]: could not chdir to src/games/snake/snake : Not a

Could someone have a look at this please.
