Mounting a PVCS Directory

Before you can mount a PVCS filesystem, you need to install PVCS on your system. PVCS is not provided with the IDE.

To mount a PVCS directory:

  1. Choose Versioning and choose Mount Version Control and choose Generic VCS from the main window to open the New Generic VCS wizard.
  2. In the Version Control System Profile combo box, select the PVCS configuration for your platform or for the platform that most closely matches yours.
  3. In the Project Database field, specify the location of your project database. The project database is the central location of all projects, subprojects, and versioned files.

    You can type the database location or click the Select button to search for all project databases. The dialog box contains three choices:

  4. Your project database must be mounted locally on your system. For Windows users, the project database computer must be mapped to your computer. For UNIX systems, the project database computer must be mounted as a UNIX filesystem.

  5. If you want to work with an individual project, type its name in the Project Name field. You can also click the Select button to browse to the project. You must mount all projects at their package root in order to compile them correctly.
  6. In the Workfiles Location field, enter the location of your local copy of the versioned files.
  7. If you want to configure advanced options or environment variables, click the Next button to view the Advanced and Environment panes of the wizard.
  8. Click Finish to close the New Generic VCS wizard and mount the filesystem.
