Installing MegaTunix on a windows box
This is just the windows platform specific installation. After you have MegaTunix installed, read the usage (that is platform-independent) on MegaTunix page. ---- * First you need [GLADE runtime] * When glade is installed, get megatunix: ** download [UNZIP and GO win32 convenience zip] and unzip it into your favorite directory (avoid spaces in filenames). This zip has configuration files for v3, so the .MegaTunix configuration directory does not need to be downloaded and unzipped separately. You can place a shortcut to desktop if you like. ** or download the original installer [Megatunix] and install it (install doesn't do anything useful other than unzip). With this original installer you'll need the GenBoard (firmware)-specific configuration directories (unzipped in the installation directory, it has some files under a ".MegaTunix" directory). See MegaTunix for the download URL. * start megatunix with megatunix.exe 2>mtx.err command from a command prompt from the right directory). See MegaTunix page ---- Possible Problems * If you edit the config files, eg. interrogation profile, take care, mtx is picky about errors or "garbage" in the config (avoid nonstandard, windows \r\n newlines and any comments in the config files) * Rare collision (with previously installed glade) problem: "missing entry point in iconv.dll" => check that correct iconv.dll is used. ---- Anything below is developer info - the above should be enough to get megatunix running on your win32.
