RE: how to build code in cvs

CVS is not a build tool.
It is a source code version control tool where your source code is
protected and versioned.
Building is somerthing completely different....

You might use a scripting language of your own choice and then use that
to build your application
based on source code that the script fetches from CVS.
It can be done for example with a batch file like this:

@echo off
set CVSROOT=:sspi:cvsserver:/Software
c:
cd \projects
if EXIST MyProject rmdir /s /q MyProject
cvs export -r HEAD MyProject
cd MyProject
make
pause

This little example assumes the following:

1. You are using a CVSNT CVS server on the cvsserver pc with 
   protocol SSPI and the repository named /Software.

2. The project to build is a module in CVS named MyProject

3. The project contains a makefile in the top folder

4. The "make" command is recognized by the computer you run the script
on.

5. The makefile specifies exactly what you want to do during builds.
