Looks like a very good idea. But can't you just modify the make files to include appropriate -I directives to find the includes? I don't think you'd want to put paths in the include directives in the source itself.
Ahh, thanks. That makes it much easier.
I always thought we could just combine the Xfractint and DOS files in one directory since we have avoided file name collisions, then build Xfract/DOS/ and various other options with and without assembler just with make files. However, your solution may be better and it's fine with me.
The reason I would like them separated is because I have seen changes in some of the Xfractint only files that are only applicable to files that would also be compiled under DOS.
What you really need to do, though, is put the CVS repository at fractint.org. Even if the only way to access it is via ssh login which is very limited at the moment (basically you and me), we could work to set up some form of anonymous access. I've never tried it but it shouldn't be hard.
Do we have the file/directory permissions to set that up, or does Damien have to do it? If you wanted to experiment, there is a compressed file of an old version (20.3p2) in the fractint directory. One problem I still have is getting a diff out of WinCVS. With gCVS, from a terminal, I can use: cvs rdiff -l -r tag module > patch.dif I suppose I need to install a separate CVS to be able to call cvs from a DOS prompt. Generating diffs from within WinCVS scrolls them across the screen, but doesn't give me a way to save them to a file. I could be missing something. Jonathan
