+#Installation Summary. Taken from install.txt in the trunk.
+
+Installing the pyrwi package
+ # Install all the support libraries and tools listed on
http://drlock.com/projects/pyrwi/docs/install.php
+ # Compile the nidaqmx package (Requires the tools from the "to develop
for PyRWI?" section)
+ # The DAQmx DLL is built with MSVC which makes linking to a GCC
project difficult. The current solution requires building a GCC compatible
library.
+ * Install pexports
http://www.emmestech.com/software/pexports-.43/download_pexports.html by
copying the EXE into C:\msys\1.0\bin
+ * In MSYS change to nidaqmx/gccLib
+ * Run the ./build.sh script. This script will make many intermediate
files, but the end result is libnidaqmx.a this is the new version of the
library.
+ * This only has to be done once, unless you install a new version of
DAQmx.
+ # Now the nidaqmx python module can be built and installed.
+ * Change to the nidaqmx directory.
+ * Edit the build.sh scipt so that paths are correct for your
installation.
+ * Run ./build.sh This will use SWIG to generate C & Python code and
then use GCC to compile the final package.
+ * Edit the install.sh scipt so that paths are correct for your
installation.
+ * Run ./install.sh which will copy of nidaqmx.py _nidaqmx.pyd into
the Python site-packages directory.
+ # The PyRWI project is in its early stages, so there isn't an installer.
+ * You will have to copy the files to the Python library. This is
usually at c:\python26\lib\site-packages or something similar
+ * Copy the pyrwi directory (the one containing __init__.py)
+ * If you are willing to help setup a distutils installer, please
contact us through the mailing list.
+ # You can test the installation by starting IPython or IDLE and typing:
+ {{{
+ import nidaqmx as DAQmx
+ import pyrwi
+ }}}
+ * If they import without error, you are all set.
