c4 -- CVS like front end to the Perforce SCM system
Neil Russell
C4 provides a CVS like feel to Perforce's SCM system p4. C4 is not a
substitute for CVS, in that it does not try to mimic CVS's command
set. Rather, it provides a workspace (client) where every file is
writable, and can be modified on an adhoc basis. C4 provides commands
that search a client, looking for files that have been added or
changed, and runs p4 commands on them to add, edit, revert, refresh or
update them. C4 provides a control file that is placed at the top of
each client to set environment variables, such as P4PORT and P4CLIENT.
For more information on what c4 does, read the c4 manual.
To build from source:
* Unpack the source code.
* Change to the source directory (the on you unpacked into), and type "make".
* If all goes well, copy the resulting binary `c4' into a suitable
directory (eg. /usr/local/bin).
