Getting BDW-GC

Getting BDW-GC

[Daniel Kraft]

Hi all,

I'm probably very stupid on this, but I wanted to finally build a new 
version of guile again to make elisp work with it -- but it fails 
because bdw-gc is missing.

So I wanted to install that package and found the bdwgc project on 
sourceforge (nothing else which seems like it); but they neither have 
released files nor does the CVS checkout work for me:

[/usr/src]# cvs 
-d:pserver:anonymous@bdwgc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bdwgc login
Logging in to 
:pserver:anonymous@bdwgc.cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/bdwgc
CVS password:
cvs login: authorization failed: server bdwgc.cvs.sourceforge.net 
rejected access to /cvsroot/bdwgc for user anonymous

Can someone please point me in the right direction to get this?  I'd 
really like to get on coding there soon...  There's already been a far 
too long break in elisp work ;)

Thanks a lot!  Yours,
Daniel

I have ‘:pserver:anonymous@bdwgc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bdwgc’ in
‘CVS/Root’ and “cvs up” works well.  Do you really have to log in?  What
if you use an empty password?

Otherwise you can still get a release tarball from

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I also tried the checkout without login first; but it didn't work 
either.  The login command is directly from what sourceforge suggests 
for anonymous checkout.

Thanks, that worked for me!  Now I got current guile compiling and am 
seeing the elisp problems, so hopefully I can help there.

Yours,
Daniel
