TILP: beta-testing...

[DJ Omnimaga]

What do you mean by different reset sequence?

[Silver Shadow]

That reminds me, can someone help me use the install script on Linux?

[DJ Omnimaga]

Could you post what you have troubles with in particular?

[Silver Shadow]

Just launching the script doesn't work, and I have no idea of what to modify inside to make it work...

[Lionel Debroux]

It would help me if you were more specific than "launching the script doesn't work"
With such little detail, I have no idea how to help you

[Silver Shadow]

So, I downloaded the script from the link on the TILP website to the desktop (on Ubuntu 10.04, if that might help). Then I right-click on it and render it executable in the properties tab. After that, I double-click on it, and a prompt with several options appears. I choose "Launch in Terminal". The terminal appears VERY briefly (with nothing displayed inside it), then closes.

I tried to look inside the script, but I didn't understand a thing... Do I have to change something inside to make it work?

[Lionel Debroux]

(on Ubuntu 10.04, if that might help)

The script has been reported multiple times to work with Ubuntu 10.04

The terminal appears VERY briefly (with nothing displayed inside it)

This is very weird, because the script precisely starts by printing 5 lines to the terminal (the 5 echo -e after handle_one_module()), and then waits for the user to press ENTER.
Try opening a proper terminal (as opposed to just "Launch in Terminal"), cd ~/Desktop (most probably, for you, cd ~/Bureau), and run ./install_tilp.sh .

Do I have to change something inside to make it work?

Nope, no modification inside the script is required for the script to work
There are two reasons why I'm pointing to the contents of the script:
* modifications are possible in order to customize the installation prefix (PREFIX) and the directory where the svn checkout will be performed (SRCDIR), but the defaults are sensible (for per-user installs, that is);
* the build dependencies, which you need to install before you can expect a successful compilation, are listed.


Hope that this helps

[Silver Shadow]

Thanks, I'll try that out later today!

BTW, when you talk about build dependencies, do I need to install those before running the script?

[Lionel Debroux]

Yes, as noted in the script and the pages on the LPG site

[DJ Omnimaga]

Hey Lionel, I just wondered something...

Have you ever thought about adding support for 8xo files? Those are supposedly TI-83+ groups or backup files (maybe the equivalent of tig) generated with the Mac version of TI-Connect and cannot be opened/transfered with any Windows software and won't transfer to Wabbitemu and other emulators.

Example of such files: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/432/43222.html

[Lionel Debroux]

Thanks DJ for reporting this on the tracker
Tribal, would you mind doing the same ?

Good news: after hacking around in libticables, I managed to receive a 47-byte file from the calculator. I feared that libticables could be one level too high to deal with the problem (IOW, I feared that the buggy Nspire would somehow dislike the commands sent by libusb), but fortunately, it doesn't seem to be so.
I had previously sent that file with the easy workaround for sending files of sizes 0x2F/0x6F/0xAF/0xEF modulo 253 (just splitting the packet), but the problem with sending files of certain sizes probably has the same root cause as the problem with receiving files of the same sizes (and may affect packet types other than files ?), so the proper fix probably will be in libticables as well.
Needless to say, I'll have to clean up and test more, before committing anything

My antivirus (Avira Antivir Premium) detects the setup as a virus/unwanted program, but I really want the program, and I think you didn't put a virus in it? The detectiontype is DR/Swisyn.amhw. can you please help me? Or is this just a stupidity of my antivirus?

[Lionel Debroux]

Yeah, it would be a stupidity of your antivirus, as nobody reported the file (generated under Linux, with a cross-compiler and packed up with InnoSetup running under Wine) being a virus in several months. It's unlikely that someone has recently broken in ticalc.org and corrupted the file.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Sometimes antiviruses ends up with false reports like this. With Avast, a year ago it reported a legit file as a virus on a large worldwide scale, affecting millions of people, even if they did not even have the file on their computer.

New Windows beta build up at http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tilp/beta/setup.exe

It features all bugfixes made since late August 2010, e.g.
* a number of (potential) crasher bugs fixed;
* fixes for variables of peculiar sizes - most of the causes for some variables failing to transfer to/from a 84+, a 89T and a Nspire through DirectLink are gone (though receiving variables from Nspires running OS >= 1.7 still fails);
* GTK+ 2.24 compatibility, useful for the newest Linux distros and MacOS X (MacPorts).

Technically, this build is a result of SVN HEAD + a tweak to integrate GFM into the mix, which may become permanent:
