You need two parts. dgtnix is just one library, on windows resulting in
some DLL file. Additionally, you need dgtdrv from dgtdrv.sf.net which is
then compiled using dgtnix. Of course you need a development system on
Windows (gcc, autoconf and stuff).
The general procedure
- Given C:\somewhere\dgtnix-1.9.1\ with subdirs and C:\dgtdrv\ with subdirs
- Build dgtnix:
cd dgtnix-1.9.1
./configure
make
this should result in a dgtnix.dll
- Build dgtdrv:
cd ../dgtdrv
You'll have to edit the Makefile for dgtdrv to point to your build of
dgtnix. Just set the two variables
INCLUDES = /opt/chess/include
LIBS = /opt/chess/lib
accordingly.
make
This should result in dgtdrv2.exe.
If all went well you should be able to call up "dgtdrv2.exe COM1: la" or
something the like and it should read in your DGT board.
However, having no windows myself I never compiled all this on that
platform. I know that dgtnix compiles on Windows as Pierre told me it
does. And I know that dgtdrv is pure ANSI C++ doing nothing strange at
all. The most tricky part therefore might be to compile dgtnix.
