I am using the cvs program from the cygwin.com port but I think you should also be able with the eclipse program. Important is the CVSROOT and that you are using the SSH. In the following command the CVSROOT is anoncvs@cvs.gnu.org:/cvs-latest/emacs ,---- | $ export CVS_RSH=ssh | $ cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@cvs.gnu.org:/cvs-latest/emacs co emacs `---- The problem with cvs-latest is that the two file 'emacs/src/regex.h' and 'emacs/src/regex.c' are missing. You can check out theese files from the cvs-2003-09-16 cvs tree or you can do first a checkout of cvs-2003-09-16 and afterwards cvs-latest. This should work, but I have not tried it. As a second step you should look into the file emacs/nt/INSTALL. This file describes the following steps: ,---- | $ cd emacs/nt | $ ./configure.bat --with-mscv | $ nmake bootstrap `---- I am not sure which CL version you are using. If you are using MSVC 7.0 (CL 13) then you should edit the file nmake.defs in emacs/nt and remove the occurences of '-debugtype:both'. Harald
