I was asked for a current build for win32. I thought I'd share it with the
list if anyone else needs it:

ned.

Hi Ned,

This build doesn't work for me when using Realtime mode with a
Computrainer on win xp sp 3 (the only pc I can lay my hands on at the
moment).

The realtime code in Computrainer.cpp uses the w32api for
MultiBytetoWideChar(), CreateFile(), GetCommState(), SetCommState(),
SetCommTimeouts(), WriteFile() and ReadFile(). These are supported via
Mingw/MSYS w32api.

Is there something special about the build or is there a missing
dependency somewhere on MSYS libs or something? It may also be that
you are not using UNICODE in the build and commented some stuff out to
build, maybe (I know that gnu stdlibc++ widechars are not supported at
the moment in MinGW) ?

I'd be glad to help debug this!

Regards,
Mark

Also, tools->options crashes on a new cyclist for me.

Sorry to be a pain.

Also, the ride import wizard needs to free memory once each ride file
is imported as on my feeble XP laptop the import gets progressively
slower and then crashes with large number of files as virtual memory
is exhausted.

I will look into this.

Cheers,
Mark

I have submitted a patch for this.

I just built from head. I didn't change any settings. No clue what the
issue is. It will be a little hard for me though, since I don't have any
hardware I could use in realtime mode. I will look into it tomorrow.

Hi Ned,

Mark

I'm looking into it now. The tools->options one is fixed and the file
import one is pending some tweaks after feedback from Sean.

I'll try and get it sorted since it must be my code, thanks for the
info tho.

Mark

I've just submitted a patch to fix the realtime Computrainer problem.
I think all the issues I raised have an associated patch now.

So the 3 issues were coding errors and not Ned's build!

I just installed the latest build with success and I can access
options. However I have the following observations in no certain
order:

1) After creating a new cyclist then going to options, GC crashes. I
can't seem to copy and pasted any of the crash info.
2) Import date and time do not come in correctly although it's stored
in the iBike file. I believe this has been solved but right now it
shows 01 Jan 2000 as default
3) Elevation gained is grossly overstated on all activities, even the
existing ones.
4) During import you're only shown distance as km.
5) The ride plot shows elevation perfectly, which it did not do
previously. Thank you.

Question: Is it just this build or does GC not take advantage of dual
core cpu's? While doing a Critical Power processing noticed GC was
using 95% of CPU core 0 and 0% of CPU core 1.

It's single threaded.

I installed this build also and when importing .tcx files from my 705,
it "locks up" at the "Confirm Date and Time" step of the import. I
can cancel the import...but that doesn't help things much when wanting
to look at new files ;-)

I just thought I'd point that out as you guys get ready for the 1.3
release.

The importer needs you to confirm some dates and times. Are you sure
all the files have dates?

Once you set those dates the save button will be activated.

Maybe the importer should let you go ahead and set missing dates to
today?

Mark

Yep...the .tcx file has the proper date.

Aaah...I see what you mean about having to hit the "save" button when
it gets to that part of the import. That's different than before,
and...I have to say...not exactly intuitive since the progress bar is
only half done at that point. It looked to me like it had hung up...

Oh. So it is asking for dates even tho there are some. Hmmm. It didn't
used to do that, but even so maybe a more helpful message, like check
your dates then press save or something would help here.
