using PVCS version control with CVI

[Mike walker]

I am trying to use PVCS (V8) with CVI (v5.5). I have no problem with *.c files they check in and out ok. But I dont have the same success with *.uir and the associated *.h. I can check out the *.uir but when I try to edit it , it is set as read only, anyone any idea why?

Mike,

We have tested PVCS with CVI and we were successfull using i, here a document with some info on that: Source Code Control (SCC) with LabWindows/CVI. The SCC options in CVI was implemented using the commen scripting interface for SCC, that way most SCC software are supported. I would suggest to check the configuration in PVCS for not recognized file types (like the uir files). Also since the uir files are not simple text files, PVCS will not be able to make comparison between them, check if this could be causing the problem.

Another thing to keep in mind is that CVI will generate an .h for the uir if it is not pressent, just make sure that CVI can writ
e in the local project directory.

Unfortunatelly I don't have PVCS here, but I hope this info helps.
