DScaler - CVS Instructions

| CVS Instructions

1. Download the latest version of WinCVS from http://www.cvsgui.org. Install it. (Instructions confirmed with version 1.3 beta 6.)
2. Download the latest windows setup program from http://sfsetup.sourceforge.net/ and unpack it. (Instructions confirmed with version 1.3.)
3. Run sfsetup.exe... It may give you a WinCVS error. That`s OK. Have it set up ssh and the DScaler project. Make sure you specify your sourceforge username, the project as "deinterlace", the home directory as the directory in which you installed ssh, and the checkout directory as the directory where you want to save the DScaler code on your local machine.
   NOTICE TO WINDOWS 2000 USERS -- Before running make sure your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT exists and is writable (and not hidden, not system). It cannot be blank - it must have at least one line of text in it. If it is 0 bytes, add an "@echo off" line to it, followed by an Enter.
   NOTICE TO WINDOWS 95/98/ME USERS -- After running sfsetup, reboot the computer to load the new AUTOEXEC.BAT settings.
4. Run WinCVS.
5. Choose Create-Checkout Module. The modules available in the Deinterlace project include:
   a) DScaler -- the main DScaler application, including hardware drivers, help files, and skins;
   b) DSRend -- the DScaler renderer filter necessary for native DirectShow support in the DScaler application;
   c) deinterlace -- the experimental DirectShow wrapper; and
   d) htdocs -- the web site.
   NB: the htdocs module includes copies of many help files in the DScaler module. If you make corrections on any of these files, please check in the changes in both places.
6. Click OK. After a couple of seconds a minimized ssh DOS window will appear. Maximize the window. It MAY be blank, it MAY say "Password:"; Enter your password even if the DOS window is completely blank without the "Password:" prompt. There will be no echo. Just type your password and then hit Enter.
   NB: Upon running for the first time, the DOS window will mention that a random seed is being generated for the Sourceforge site. Again, you may not be prompted for your password, but you will need to enter it anyway.
7. WinCVS should now be checking out the code.
8. For those who will be making edits to the code, you can do so with impunity. Make your edits and submit them to the CVS by first selecting the file. Choose Modify-Update Selection from the menu. This merges your local changes with the CVS code. Next, choose Modify-Commit Selection. This will make the changes in the CVS. After each step, you will be presented with the DOS window discussed in #6, above.
