Whoa! I finally managed to get 2.2.0a8 built! Maybe just out of luck or some bug in the tools or config. I switched to GNU Wincvs and got it. Maybe it's useful to thers:

I used cvsgrab (http://cvsgrab.sourceforge.net) because I'm FIREWALLED on my linux box and cannot go out through 2401. The idea of cvsgrab is to obtain cvs files via HTTP interfacing with Viewcvs. (nice idea to me!) The downside is that you only have read access. It didn't work completely maybe due to a bug or unsupported version of Viewcvs (or dumb user). Don't know about binaries, but I guess it should work ok. I don't think -tag == -r , the docs of cvsgrab say it's for "The version tag of the files to download" (which was what I needed). Anyway, I gave up and borrowed a windows box with firewall permission on 2401 and used Wincvs (http://www.wincvs.org). It worked. Diego -----Original Message----- From: Noel J.
