# The Phex WinCVS HowTo

### Getting WinCVS and SSH to work

To get the Phex sources and documents from the CVS repository you need to set up your CVS environment for sourceforge. A detailed instructions on how to setup the CVS environment for windows using WinCVS can be found in the document WinCvs CVS Client Installation Instructions

### Getting the Phex project

After configuring WinCVS to use SSH and setting the CVSROOT for Phex to username@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phex you are able to checkout the main module called phex. The module includes the Phex sources, required librarys, build scripts and Phex and Gnutella documentation.

- Create a directory where you like to add the phex module to e.g. c:\sourceforge\project_phex
- In WinCVS go to Create -> Checkout module...
  and enter the module name: phex
- Click the Ok button.
- WinCVS now creates the directory c:\sourceforge\project_phex\phex and adds all the files and sub directorys of the phex module to it.

You are now having all the necessary files to build and develop with Phex.
