Hmmm... I'm going to need your help here. I'm not that familiar with
CVS (I use ClearCase), but from what I've read, I think this is what I
have to do:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at wxwindows.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/
wxwindows login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at wxwindows.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/
wxwindows co -r WX_2_8_BRANCH -P wxGTK

I can't seem to get past the login line, though. It prompts me for a
password (which I just answer with the enter key) and then it pauses
for a few seconds before issuing the following error message:

cvs [login aborted]: connect to
wxwindows.cvs.sourceforge.net(66.35.250.89):2401 failed: Connection
refused

Am I doing something wrong? Also, If this did work, I assume the files
are copied to my current working directory?

It looks like I mis-spoke about the compiler version I am using. I am
actually using version 7.4 not 7.4.4 (or 7.4.4m). In my version, the
code that wxPtrToUInt() generates does not issue a warning (in either
32 or 64 bit mode). I suspect this warning started with the 7.4.4 or
(7.4.4m) compiler, since what my compiler actually complains about is
the "-woff 3970" switch -- it says that warning # does not exist.

I will see if I can find a machine with 7.4.4m and test.
