TAPtoDate Toolkit

[FireBird]

Bei jeder Installation sollen die User-Settings "verschwinden"? Oder meinst Du bei INI-Versionsänderungen?

[xyzzyx]

Ja, natürlich nur bei INI-Versionsänderungen, die so wesentlich sind, dass manuelle Überarbeitung nötig ist.
Und sie sollen ja nicht verschwinden, sondern in oldini umbenannt werden

[FireBird]

Dafür brauche ich keine extra Option, das kann man dann ja immer machen (bei einem Versionwechsel).

[xyzzyx]

Ok, das wäre ja prima.
Hat der Versionswechsel an einer Settings-Datei bisher schon etwas anders bewirkt?

Ok, die Settings-Kennzeichnung wird wahrscheinlich bei der Deinstallation (Settings erhalten) berücksichtigt, richtig?

Sie wird von der mitgelieferten Datei überschrieben. Das Umbenennen ist kein Problem. Die einzige Konsequenz wäre, dass solche Dateien bei einer Deinstallation nicht gelöscht werden (falls ich nicht noch eine Idee dazu habe).

Yepp.

Hello, the kangaroos here - is there any English version of the document on how to use the toolkit?

[Twilight]

good question, i don't know in which language paul97 has written the manual....and as i know it's not finished yet.

I had some question and answer sessions with Jeff and he promised to write a short English HOWTO. But it may take some days.

[xyzzyx]

Yes, he told that down under too. :

Hi - I am still trying to get this to work but am having a problem - hopefully someone here can help me?

When I create the package I get a 1KB tgz file which is invalid. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and some folders are locked down (it's a corporate laptop). I'm wondering whether its a permissions issue when running tar? Does anyone know what the commands are that T2D toolkit runs to create the tgz?

Thanks,
John

[deangelj]

Mmm, I can create a package manually by doing the following, so permission looks ok?

set PATH=%PATH%;c:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\opt\crosstool\bin
cd C:\user\Personal\tv\Topfield\MyStuff\2400Stuff\TAPtoDate\SourceFiles\TMSCommander
tar -czf 8001FFFF-20101016-230751.tgz *

But now, on new versions I don't get any tgz at all!

[xyzzyx]

Is cygwin correctly installed on your laptop?
Sorry, but I do not know the commands that the Toolkit uses.

[deangelj]

Hi xyzzyx - yes it is installed correctly. I use it to build TAPs. Do you need to run the toolkit from a cygwin window?

[xyzzyx]

No, it has just to be installed.
The toolkit is run normally under windows.
But I do not know whether there is something special to observe because you use Windows 7.
I use it on XP.

How did JaffaMan manage to put TMSTimer in TAPtoDate? Does he have Windows 7 too?

[Gerti]

Hi!

I use Windows 7 and it is working fine for me...

Best regards,
Michael

Here it works also fine on Windows 7. Sometimes I have seen problems with cygwin if there are spaces in the path or filenames. I don't know if this could be a problem with the toolkit. but this is something you can quickly check and test.

Greetings

[FireBird]

The toolkit simply calls 3 Unix commands via the Windows command console. The path to cygwin\bin should be all it needs.

Code: Alles auswählen

tar --format=v7 --exclude-from=Exclude.txt -cf "<packagename>.tar"  *'
gzip "<packagename>.tar"
mv "<packagename>.tar.gz" "<packagename>.tgz"

Thanks Alex - if I execute this interactively I get the following problem: and the resulting tar file is invalid:

Code: Alles auswählen

Deangelj@WS069681 /cygdrive/C/user/Personal/tv/Topfield/MyStuff/2400Stuff/TAPtoDate/SourceFiles/TMSCommander
$ tar --format=v7  -cf "8001FFFF-20101027-012950.tar" *
tar: value 4294967295 out of gid_t range 0..2097151
tar: value 4294967295 out of gid_t range 0..2097151
tar: value 4294967295 out of gid_t range 0..2097151
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

I'll see if I need to update my cygwin tools - my version of tar is 1.12-1.

[deangelj]

If I run it without the "--format=v7" it seems to work ok...

I updated to the latest cygwin - no difference...
