The port of fldigi to the Windows operating system is built using
|
|
cross-compilers on Linux. The cross-compilation environment is
|
|
created using mingw32.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Installing fldigi on windows is very simple. Simply execute the
|
|
installer program and both fldigi and flarq will be installed in the
|
|
default programs directory structure for the specific Microsoft version
|
|
that is being targeted. Desktop icons and desktop menu items will
|
|
be created. An uninstaller link will be created on the desktop
|
|
menu.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click on the desktop icon to start the application. If this is a
|
|
new installation you will be guided through the inital configuration
|
|
with a \ref wizard_page "new install wizard".
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Resize the main dialog to suit your screen. Adjust the Rx/Tx divider to your
|
|
liking. Then set up the operator and sound card configuration
|
|
items; \ref configuration_page "configuring fldigi". When
|
|
you have fldigi receiving and decoding signals you can exit the
|
|
application which will allow you to save your configuration settings.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Now open up the following folder using your windows file explorer if you do
|
|
not have a login name and password:
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr><td>On XP </td>
|
|
<td>C:\\\"Documents and Settings\\<urlogin\>\\fldigi.files\"</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>On W2K</td>
|
|
<td>C:\\\"Documents and Settings\\<urlogin\>\\fldigi.files\"</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>On Vista/Win7</td>
|
|
<td>C:\\User\\<urlogin\>\\fldigi.files</td></tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
where \<urlogin\> is the name with which you log onto the computer.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
All of these files were generated by fldigi when it first started. The files
|
|
with the extension pal are palette definition files. The file "macros.mdf"
|
|
contains the macro definitions which you can change using the macro editor.
|
|
fldigi.prefs and fldigi_def.xml are used for storing the application state
|
|
and configuration items respectively. With the exception of the location of
|
|
this folder the operation of fldigi on windows is identical to linux. In
|
|
all instances where the help files make reference to $HOME/.fldigi you
|
|
should be substitute the appropriate directory for XP or Vista/Win7.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Please take the time to read and reread the on-line help file. Better
|
|
yet download the Adobe Reader file so that you can view the help
|
|
locally without needing access to the internet. Fldigi is a large
|
|
complex program with many ways for the user to customize its operation
|
|
to his or her hardware environment.

\section special_note Special Note for Vista/Win7 from user!
|
|
|
|
I am trying to install the latest and greatest version of FLDIGI and
|
|
FLARQ on a new Toshiba laptop computer that runs Vista/Win7 / Win7. The main
|
|
screen of FLDIGI comes up ok and it says that no call sign has been set
|
|
and down in the bottom center right there is an <b>error message about
|
|
there not being the sound card that it thinks it should see</b>.
|
|
I understand the messages as the program needs to be configured.
|
|
The problem is that when I click on 'Configuration' the main screen
|
|
grays out and it seems to go off into never never land and not comeback
|
|
or put up the configuration window. At that point the only thing
|
|
that works on the main screen is the close button. What am I
|
|
missing?
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
I solved the mystery! Cockpit error, kind of! I tried
|
|
installing MULTIPSK and got the "no sound card error" also. Went
|
|
into the Control Panel to see what was going on. When I looked at
|
|
sound input it said there was NO microphone plugged in. Then the
|
|
light came on and I remembered that you MUST have a microphone plugged
|
|
in when using the Vista OS or it doesn't think there is a sound card in
|
|
the computer!!! Well this is my first encounter with Vista and
|
|
how am I suppose to know or remember that little quark on an OS I've
|
|
never used before??
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Once I plugged a mic into the sound card input both programs worked
|
|
just fine.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<b>Vista/Win7 requires</b> either a <b>microphone</b> or a <b>line-in</b>
|
|
device actually plugged into the 8 mm audio jack before the sound
|
|
driver reports that there is an audio capture device.
