Need help with Ndless Installation and gbc4nspire
« on: February 22, 2011, 07:32:29 pm »
Alright so my new Ti-Nspire CAS Touchpad came in the mail today, and After testing it out for a bit I thought of getting Ndless to get some Games on it and whatnot  ;) . But I'm totally confused as to how I'd approach this.

I read several different topics, But I think since I just recently got this, The version is unchangeable or something? I've got no idea. If anyone could explain how I'd go on installing Ndless and gbc4nspire, or if it's even possible for the calculator I have, It'd be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi!  Welcome to Omnimaga! :)

At this point, the only way to get Ndless working on your calculator is to use the developer version of Ndless, Ndless 2.0.  At the current point, binaries of Ndless 2.0 cannot be distributed; the only way to get it working is to build it yourself.  In order to do this, you must download the Ndless source code here (password:  guest/guest) and set up an Nspire Development Environment to compile the code (Information on how you can set up a development environment can be found here, follow the instructions in doc/Ndless-Development to build Ndless).

Good luck! :)

Thanks, and Thanks again for the fast reply. For this, I wouldn't need to downgrade my calc's OS, and All i would need to do after compiling Ndless would be putting that on the calc, and following regular procedure to install gbc4nspire right?

Yes, but since you have the touchpad, you will need a specific version of gbc4nspire made to work on the touchpad.  Here it is:  http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=topicattach;topic=1243

Alright, and how long do you think setting up Ndless would take? 10-15 minutes or more? Because I have to finish up a few things for classes and I want to see if i can get this done by tonight too.

I'll be honest:  setting up an Ndless Development Environment and compiling Ndless (especially if you are not familiar with the process) can be a very tedious task.  Unless you are very experienced with computers/building files, it will take you more than 10-15 minutes to do this (it will probably take longer than that just to download/install all of the programs you need just to build Ndless, let alone getting it to work.)

If you run into any problems, feel free to post here for help! :)

Ran into my first problem already, Does anyone know why it says that MinGW is a trojan? I've got no idea why BitDefender Detects it. Not sure if I should download it.. Anyone confirm?

From sourceforge I think it was, Also is it wrong on these forums to ask someone for their Ndless 2.0 fully compiled? Cause i feel like that'd be easier >.>

I think they prefer if you make it yourself but i was given a compiled version so I'm sure it is fine. I would try one more time at making it before you decide to just ask for the compiled version.

There is an installer for mingw now, which allows you to choose which modules you want and it downloads them from the internet.

Alright, So I got as far as making the C enviroment, Now i'm really confused, The guide says to make the Toolchain which is mentioned in the ReadMe.txt, When there is no mention of a toolchain at all, What do I do O_O

You need to go to the ndless directory and run make there, it builds some tools necessary for building ndless programs.
