I guess I did not get your structure right then...
I have had trouble getting a directory from somewhere living below a
directory from somewhere else when I tried it. At first it kindof
seems to work but then later on it screws up on updates...
The only way I have been able to get all these different dirs
assembled is by creating a parallel structure like this:
moduletop
|- dir1 (contains a directory from some/where/else)
|- dir2 (this is from someother/place)
|- source (this is my real source dir from projectx/src)
| |- subdir (a real subdir: projectx/src/subdir)
|- bin (this is where my compiled binaries go: projectx/bin)
This structure can be done in CVSROOT modules:
_mydir1 -d dir1 some/where/else
_mydir2 -d dir2 someother/place
_mysource -d source projectx/src
_mybin -d bin projectx/bin myproject.exe myproject.ini mysupport.dll
moduletop &_mydir1 &_mydir2 &_mysource &_mybin
Checking out moduletop will create the structure above.
The bin folder will only hold the three named files even if there are
more in the physical repository folder.
What does not work is having:
moduletop
|- dir1 (contains a directory from some/where/else)
|- dir2 (this is from someother/place)
|- source (this is my real source dir from projectx/src)
|- subdir (a real subdir: projectx/src/subdir)
|- bin (this is where my compiled binaries go: projectx/bin)
with this in CVSROOT/modules:
_mydir1 -d dir1 some/where/else
_mydir2 -d dir2 someother/place
_mysource -d source projectx/src
_mybin -d source/bin projectx/bin myproject.exe myproject.ini
mysupport.dll
moduletop &_mydir1 &_mydir2 &_mysource &_mybin
Don't ask me why, I don't get it. But experience says it will not
work.
