Hi Willy,
  Thanks for bringing this up.  LSynth setup does not put the parts in the LDraw
directory.  I'm open to suggestions as to how to do this, even if I have to
write a program to do this process.

  I included all the parts in a zip file in the lsynth install directory.

Hi Kevin & co,

I just tried to install LSynth and ran into two problems.  I did go through
the tutorial and troubleshooting page, but couldn't find anything about it.

The first problem is that it seems that not all necessary parts are included
in the zip file (LS02.dat is one example).  Do they need to be downloaded
from somewhere else or is it just a glitch?

The second one is that MLCad doesn't give me the possibility to run LSynth,
even though I gave it the right path.  Since LSynth.exe doesn't exist (only
the command line version is installed, in the bin\ directory), I presume that
might be the problem?  In that case, would it be somehow possible to get the
old GUI?


Cheers,
Matija

I can quickly address the second issue.  After I released it, I recalled that
MLCad seemed to assume that LSynth was installed in something like
<blah>\bin\lsynthcp.exe.  I remember being disturbed by this choice at at the
time, because it permamently bound me to install LSynth into some bin directory.

Given that this seems non-negotiable, and I'm not sure if/when MLCad will be
updated and released, future releases will be installed in bin :-(

For now you can create a bin directory and copy lsynthcp.exe there.  Then set
the MLCad path to match everything down to, but not including bin.

Kevin

(...) But I did... that is, the release I downloaded a few days ago did it automatically, so I do have <blah>\bin\lsynthcp.exe. I tried also to remove it out of bin, rename it to LSynth.exe (as I saw on a screenshot in Willy's tutorial), but nothing (...) (15 years ago, 17-Mar-09, to lugnet.cad)
