Emulator

Emulating the Reciva Radio Hardware

This emulation project was started in the footsteps of a similar project on the Freecom Musicpal. This is just a working notes area at the moment.

= Special Bits On a Windows Platform

• Download (from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml) and install MinGW into c:\mingw
• Download (from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml) and install MSys-Basic into c:\msys
• If you are running Vista, you need to edit MSys.bat to include the line (check that the version matches yours, and if not, modify the path statement accordingly):

 PATH=c:\mingw\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5;%PATH%

• You will need to rin the MSys.bat as the administrator, so that the installs can take place.

• Also, I found on Vista that in order to be able to run programs as the Administrator, a modification to the shell searching in msys.bat is also required:

 c:
 cd \msys
 if EXIST bin

ul cd bin

 if EXIST rxvt.exe goto startrxvt
 if EXIST sh.exe goto startsh
