[Ffmpeg-devel] Specific revisions from CVS

[Barry Cooper]

Hi,

I want to apply a patch to some ffmpeg source so i may compile it to 
give me a standalone shared binary library on OSX. It seems the patch 
only operates on, for instance, release 1.8.1 of ffmpeg/Makefile. I am 
having trouble getting this from cvs, i can only manage to get version 
1.8.3 (the current one). I presume i need some variant on the 
following:

cvs -z9 -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/ffmpeg -r r1_8_1 co 
Makefile

what's gone wrong here???

any help appreciated, thanks.

Barry.
