Line Terminators for CVS log on Mac OS X [message #33420]

Hi

I've recently switched from a PC running Windows XP SP2 to an iMac G5
running Mac OS X 10.3.8.

I've been using Eclipse for a while on the PC to develop my C project,
which worked wonderfully in a multi-platform environment (developing on a
Unix drive mounted on Windows, CVS on a Unix server). However, the same
cannot be said for Mac OS X.

I've got my Unix share (where the Workspace is) mounted on my iMac, and
have set Editor and CVS server encoding to UTF-8 and US-ASCII,
respectively.

My CVS server (Unix) has a ChangeLog aggregator script that prepends a
block of text to a ChangeLog file with each commit to a specific module.
This used to work fine, but now gets filled up with '^M' characters where
I've created a new line on the CVS log.

How do I stop this? It's stopped my project development...

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies. :) Much appreciated.

Regards Alasdair

I forgot to mention that I've tried this using Eclipse 3.0.1 and 3.1 M4.
CDT version 2.1.0.

I didn't get far enough with Eclipse 3.1 M5a, as it just refused to work
with anything. I couldn't even access a CVS Perspective, let alone a C/C++
Perspective! I gave up and decided M5a was just plain broken.

Thanks again.

^M's are mac line endings - not sure where they would have come from,
unless you are using some MacOS9 tools. Are you using an external
editor, like BBEdit? Preferences->Text Files:Saving->set unix line breaks?
