Re: Can I use Subversion with Labview8

[JoeC]

I am trying to setup TortoiseSVN for use with subversion.  Does anyone know what the path and name of the executable for the differencing program in LV 8.6?  I would like to be able to do differencing using TortoiseSVN.  Tortoise does allow for External differencing engines as per the attachment doc1.

Update.... I am running into an interesting issue with LabVIEW and the embedded comparison tool.  I was able to modify lvdiff.vi, run it as a vi stand alone, and compare two VIs!!!  :-) When I build the lvdiff.exe application and call it from Tortoise, I get the error that this function is not available in this version of LabVIEW....????  :-( <Now for my rant> What's up with that?????  Please tell me I am doing something wrong, and that NI did not put code in the comparison application to disable comparisons by third party comparison tools or will not run when called by a user exe? Attached is my part way modified lvdiff.vi if someone else can confirm in LV 8.6 that they are having the same issue...
