Making CVS 1.11.6 on Windows/C++.NET produces linker-error"unresolved external _locate_rcs"

[Tobias Wirnsberger]

Hi.
I am new to cvs and right now in charge of setting up a cvs environment
in my company, where we will be using a cvs server on SUN and Windows
clients.
I downloaded the latest stable release 1.11.6 and tried to build the
Windows-client using nmake /f cvsnt.mak  I have Visual Studio.NET 2003
installed on  Windows 2000. Compilation went all right, but the linker
failed on an unresolved external  "_locate_rcs". After looking around
for a while, I pasted the two functions locate_file_in_dir and
locate_rcs from the file .../src/filesubr.c to
.../windows-NT/filesubr.c. After this, the nmake ran without problems.
Also the cvs-client seems to be ok, although I havn't been able to test
it very thoroughly. If  this bugfix is correct, please include it in
your next release. Otherwise please let me know.
Thanks
Tobias
