mios32 toolchain setup question

[jmayes]

Hi all,

The MIOS32 tool chain setup page implies the SVN needs copied to the local drive, I can't seem to find a way to do that. Is there a download link somewhere I am missing?

From;

http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=windows_mios32_toolchain_core

"DOS: (we assume, that the repository has been downloaded to D:\)

set MIOS32_PATH=/D/mios32/trunk"

Can someone clarify that for me,

Thankx again,

Jmayes

Hi.

I know it is a bit hidden but on that page under "SVN Repository" it has a link to the page about SVN which contains full instructions for downloading/installing TortoiseSVN. It also has instructions for setting up Putty/Pageant if you are going to be writing back to the repository (although you will need to post your SSH public key in the public key section first!)

Thank you Phil for the quick answer, I found that page but it left me somewhat fuzzy on the exact setup required. It implies a real-time SVN hookup. Will I have to access the internet every time I compile? I would much prefer to copy to a drive so I can keep a static complier locked away if I ever have to work on this years down the road.

Perhaps I just don't understand clearly yet how the process will work?

Thankx again,

Hi.

No you "checkout" the SVN which effectively copies the whole source tree to your local machine. You can then run SVN update to download just the changed files.

SVN is simply a way of synchronizing your machine with the master repository.
