SVN not working correctly...

[Leo28C]

Hello everyone! :-D

Hey, I installed Cygwin with the following options:

Devel: Install
wget: (latest version)

Now I'm trying to update a program (for coding the PSP) through SVN. The tutorial I'm reading (http://www.psp-programming.com/tutorials/c/lesson01.htm) says to execute the command 'svn update', however that gives me some errors:

[quote]
user@comp ~/psptoolchain
$ svn update
svn: Can't parse '.svn/dir-prop-base'
svn: Malformed file
[/quote]

I asked on a PSP coding form and they suggested to reinstall, so I tried that. Nothing. Then I tried reinstalling all Cygwin. Nothing. Then I tried installing SVN from here:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91

But that didn't work either, same error... :-(

Anyone got a suggestion? Thanks! ;-)


PS: The dir-prop-base file is this:

[quote]
K 10
svn:ignore
V 80
binutils-*.tar.gz
newlib-*.tar.gz
gdb-*.tar.gz
gcc-*.tar.bz2
binutils-*.tar.gz


END

Probably a line ending problem, which is common with svn and svn-tools that try
to be smart and use CR-LF on Windows.

I assume you installed whatever you have under ~/psptoolchain from an image
(.zip or .tar.gz file), if that is the case the solution would be to get rid of
that and re-install using Cygwin's svn or leave it and use a GUI for svn (as it
will probably use those line endings by default, but can be configured in many
ways).

You can check if that is the problem by looking at the file with `od -c
.svn/dir-prop-base` or something else that will show the line endings, like `vi
-b ...`

Yep, reinstall, reboot, reboot, reboot, and see if that helps... ;-)  Don't you
love all those "experts" posting to user groups?

I may be wrong, by the way.

That's OK.  If you are, you can always re-install and reboot a couple of
dozen times.  I'm sure that will make you right. ;-)

ARGH, Linux and anything to do with it makes me SO mad... >:(

How do I change the newlines? There's more than 100 files to change I believe, and it's hard to do with SciTE... :-/

I downloaded RapidSVN, but I have no idea how to use it... What the hell's a "repository"? I uninstalled Linux for a reason, damn it! :-@

HELP, I'm a Windows user! (ARGH)

What has Linux to do with the problem?

You don't have to change anything.  SciTE is for Windows, so it probably works
fine with no changes; the original problem was using svn under Cygwin.

Remember I said "probably".  And first step was to find out if that was the problem.

Look at it another way, Cygwin's svn didn't work as expected when you tried,
somebody (me) told you that svn does funny things with line endings, so you have
to look for what is best for you.  You can become a svn expert and learn how to
move between environments or go the easy way and use a Windows tool for svn,
RapidSVN is one (I've never used it).

  Tell us what you did, step by step, in particular:

How/where did you get the source code for the program?

If it was packed, how did you unpack it?

If you fetched it from a SVN server (a 'repository'), did you use command-line svn or a gui?

Have you mixed using command-line svn and a gui at all?

Is the text editor you're using capable of using unix line endings?  Does it have an option somewhere that lets you select?

  Basically, the problem has probably come from using a mixed set of tools, some cygwin, some windows-native, on the same svn working tree.  Hopefully the answers to those questions should show us where.


    cheers,

I'm here to get help on Cygwin because I'm forced to use it by this program that I need. >:-(

Now, this is what I did step by step...

1. Downloaded Cygwin from here: http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
2. Installed it with "devel" set to Install and "wget" set to the latest version.
3. Downloaded the program from here: http://ps2dev.org/psp/Tools/Toolchain/
4. Extracted it (using WinZip, with folder names) to "C:\cygwin\home\<user>\".
5. Opened up a Cygwin shell and navigated to ~/psptoolchain (the root folder inside the archive).
6. Typed in "svn update". I got those errors... :'(

I'm pretty sure the problem HAS to do with the line endings, because after I changed all the files from \r\n to just \n it worked well, but then there were more files complaining... There are endless folders, so I don't wanna go through all of them... :-/

I'd like to keep trying that, one of my first C++ apps was one that changed line endings, but guess what, I formatted and... wait, maybe I have it backed up... I'll see if I can find that and make it iterate through all the files. But tell me if there's anything wrong with the steps.

Thanks! ;-)

Try using the "tar" program from Cygwin to extract instead. I downloaded
the file, extracted with tar, and did an "svn update" with no problems
at all. Maybe WinZip is "helping" you by doing some conversions to
Windows line endings...
