Hey Phil/Rick, Here are some updated instructions for generating the CDT 3.0M5 tarball. I couldn't actually find the 3.0 tag so I just put "**3.0TAG**" in the sed line so you'll have to track it down (if it exists). If the repo hasn't been tagged, then we're stuck with HEAD I suppose. % mkdir temp && cd temp % /usr/share/eclipse/buildscripts/copy-platform SDK /usr/share/eclipse % mkdir home % cvs -d :pserver:anonymous dev eclipse org:/home/tools co \ org.eclipse.cdt-releng/org.eclipse.cdt.releng % cd org.eclipse.cdt-releng/org.eclipse.cdt.releng % sed --in-place 's/HEAD/**3.0TAG**/' maps/cdt.map % java -cp ../../SDK/startup.jar \ -Duser.home=../../home \ org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main \ -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner \ -buildfile build.xml \ -DbaseLocation=/user/share/eclipse \ -DdontUnzip=true fetch % cd .. && tar zcf eclipse-cdt-fetched-src-2.1.tar.gz org.eclipse.cdt.releng I just tried this from HEAD and it seems to be be working with gij now! If you have any problems, feel free to ping me. Cheers, Ben
