Getting BDW-GC

[Daniel Kraft-4]

Hi all,

I'm probably very stupid on this, but I wanted to finally build a new
version of guile again to make elisp work with it -- but it fails
because bdw-gc is missing.

So I wanted to install that package and found the bdwgc project on
sourceforge (nothing else which seems like it); but they neither have
released files nor does the CVS checkout work for me:

[/usr/src]# cvs
-d:pserver:anonymous@...:/cvsroot/bdwgc login
Logging in to
:pserver:anonymous@...:2401/cvsroot/bdwgc
CVS password:
cvs login: authorization failed: server bdwgc.cvs.sourceforge.net
rejected access to /cvsroot/bdwgc for user anonymous

Can someone please point me in the right direction to get this?  I'd
really like to get on coding there soon...  There's already been a far
too long break in elisp work ;)

Thanks a lot!  Yours,
Daniel

I have ‘:pserver:anonymous@...:/cvsroot/bdwgc’ in
‘CVS/Root’ and “cvs up” works well.  Do you really have to log in?  What
if you use an empty password?

Otherwise you can still get a release tarball from
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/ .

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I also tried the checkout without login first; but it didn't work
either.  The login command is directly from what sourceforge suggests
for anonymous checkout.

Thanks, that worked for me!  Now I got current guile compiling and am
seeing the elisp problems, so hopefully I can help there.

Yours,
Daniel
