DAssitA repo 0.0.7
As DAssitA had moved to almost version been used in more than 3 private projects of mine so far + 2 projects for the East company to which I'm working for it is time to make a quick release of the current repo & its tools/modules.
I have to note that the repo includes some external tools which licenses I've didn't found/included yet, where this will be done for the next major release of DAssitA's repo 0.1.
Let's get started:
Minimum requirements:
- Windows 7 OS
- Adobe AIR runtime installed
You can download the repo_0.0.7
And here are the steps required to get it moving:
0) unzip the downloaded repo to a folder where appropriate (mine setup is that the repo is extracted at D:\pd-repo\)
1) install haxe compiler with batteries included from here
2) install last revision of ActionPdmlToolbar
3) install last revision of PdmlEditor
4) to be able to use Svn module - install slick subversion command line client
5) add to your apache new virtual host pointing to your unziped repo root folder using similar to this syntax:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@pdrepo.dev DocumentRoot <<YOUR PATH TO THE REPO's ROOT FOLDER>> ServerName pdrepo.dev ServerAlias pdrepo.dev ErrorLog pdrepo.dev-error_log CustomLog pdrepo.dev-access_log common </VirtualHost>
Note that pdrepo.dev servername alias should not be changed, otherwise ActionPdmlToolbar & PdmlEditor won't boot.
6) add the following entry in C:\windows\system32\drivers\hosts file:
127.0.0.1 pdrepo.dev
7) enable mod_neko2 for your apache by placing the following in httpd.conf:
LoadModule neko_module "C:/Program Files (x86)/Motion-Twin/neko/mod_neko2.ndll" AddHandler neko-handler .n
place the ndll file from <<repo>>/haxe/org/dassista/tools/Prc.ndll to your neko directory
And that you go.
To test is DAssitA is installed properly try the following:
1) launch ActionPdmlToolbar
2) open explorer to <<repo>>\haxe\org\dassista\_pdmls\
3) drag the file compile.pdml to the ActionPdmlToolbar
4) double click on the compile.pdml entry from the action toolbar and see that there are no exceptions or anything scary outputed (usually compiling DAssitA itself requires around 5 to 6 secs and should ouput only empty lines)
