How To Patch and Compile Tutorial (From WINDOWS)
ryran:
Thanks for this. I wasn't planning on doing this today.. hadn't even looked around for a guide yet... Couple things I thought you might want to add/change:
point 2.6: I'd change that to say windows explorer. it will save some confusion.
next I'd say something about running the patch commands with the --dry-run option first, which doesn't actually make any changes. very nice when you find out that a patch isn't gonna apply cleanly.
and finally, I'd make a note about how you can start over from scratch (sync with cvs clearing any changes patches made) by entering something like cvs -q up -dPC
I had no problems compiling my first build thanks to you. Runs like a charm. It includes the 64mb patch, the accelerated scrolling patch, and the latest (updated today by obo) unplug/pause patch.
-------EDIT-------
Updated 6/16. Still has the 64meg and autopause patches, but no longer includes scrolling patch; instead it has the playnav/quickexit patch. Get it here: http://b19.org/6-16-apause-64-playnav.zip

Well, the simple guide for compiling in the wiki is intended for new users, so if as an inexperienced user you find it doesn't tell you something clearly, it definitely needs to be edited.
There's an edit button in the lower left corner of the page. You'll have to register with the wiki, but that's a painless process (it's a different login than the forums) and then you can make whatever changes to the page you like. It's really fairly simple to make changes to it, for the most part just change existing sections if the formatting stuff confuses you. :)

Another think is.. when i put anonymous in loging then i take the same error but start to download.. i supose is the cvsbuild.. but i continue read your tutorial... but... in this point:
2.6 Open up an internet explorer and type in the following
Code:
\\debian\user
Windows not found that directory.... i supose when you speak about internet explorer you talk about windows.......
thanks for all... :D

I'm getting the same problem. I've tried entering \\debian\user in internet explorer and windows explorer as well as the run box (all should work), but none of them work. I really want to use vmware. Does anyone know how to fix this error? I've tried uninstalling vmware and reinstalling it twice now, but nothing works. Thanks.
Llorean:
The VMWare machine shows up in the "Workgroup" workgroup, so it's possible that the path \\Debian won't work if your computer is in a different one. I'm *really* not sure about this though.
Trying to go to My Network Places, then clicking "View Workgroup Computers" and see if Debian shows up there. If not, go up a level with the little folder and arrow icon up top, then see if there are other workgroups it could be hiding in (or maybe you were in the other one.)
saratoga:
If the name doesn't work, try by ip address. ifconfig in debian iirc to look it up.
