Using Beyond Compare with Version Control Systems
Beyond Compare can be configured as the external difference utility in many popular VCS applications. The following are configuration instructions for specific products. Let us know if you have one to add to the list.![](http://www.scootersoftware.com/images/bc3only.png)

BC2.exeand change the path to Beyond Compare 2's install folder. AnkhSVNVisual Studio 2008 Open Visual Studio. Select AnkhSVN from the Tools menu. Select Edit the AnkhSVN Configuration. In the DiffExePath box, enter the following:
"C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 3\BComp.exe" "%base" "%mine" /fv /title1="%base" /title2="%mine" /leftreadonly
Visual Studio 2005 Open Visual Studio. Select Tools from the Options menu. Under Source Control click on Subversion. In the External diff path box, enter the following:
"C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 3\BComp.exe" "%base" "%mine" /fv /title1="%base" /title2="%mine" /leftreadonly
CA Harvest Change Manager Open the Workbench. Select Options from the Tools menu. Switch to the Merge Tool tab in the Options dialog. Select "Beyond Compare" in the ToolName drop-down. Enter the complete path to your BComp.exe in the Compare, 2-way Merge, and 3-way Merge fields.

BComp.exe $(TrunkFile) $(BranchFile) /mergeoutput=$(ResultsFile)3-way Merge (v3 Pro)
BComp.exe $(TrunkFile) $(BranchFile) $(AncestorFile) $(ResultsFile)ClearCase Go into the "C:\Program Files\Rational\ClearCase\lib\mgrs" folder. Create a backup of the file named "map". Edit "map" and edit the following lines to point to Beyond Compare:
text_file_delta compare C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 3\BComp.exe text_file_delta xcompare C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 3\BComp.exe text_file_delta merge C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 3\BComp.exe text_file_delta xmerge C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 3\BComp.exe
Make the same change to lines beginning with
_html,
_xml,
_html2,
_xml2to use Beyond Compare for HTML and XML comparisons. To use Beyond Compare 2, only change the
xcompareline of the map file. Overriding
compare,
merge, and
xmergeis not supported. A helper that improves BC2's support is available here. Code Co-op Visit Reliable Software for details on using Beyond Compare with Code Co-op. Reliable Software offers a discounted bundle of the two products. CS-RCS Choose Settings from the Document Explorer's Project menu. Switch to the File Types tab. Click the Default button. Change the Difference Analysis Tool to "Custom Tool". Enter the path to BComp.exe in the Difference Analysis Tool edit.
CVS CVS does not support external diff or merge tools. Dimensions CM / PVCS
![](http://www.scootersoftware.com/images/bc3only.png)
BC version 3: Navigate to the Dimensions / PVCS install folder and find the file
pvcsmerge.exeand rename it to
pvcsmerge.exe.exe. Copy
bcomp.exefrom
C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 3into the Dimensions folder and rename it to
pvcsmerge.exe.
In Dimensions CM 10 you can edit your
native.propertiesfile instead. The integration isn't as complete in that case, so file format/rules matching don't work correctly and folder comparisons aren't supported.
