Toolpack Prerequisite

WARNINGS:

  • Do not run toolpack with a mySQL server version other than 5.1. There are known problems with other versions and Toolpack.
  • Do not run toolpack with a ODBC connector other than 3.51, as other versions (such as 5.2) are known to cause memory leak or other problems running Toolpack.


Toolpack Basic packages

The software listed below is required by the host machines.

1) Go to TelcoBridges download site and get:

2) Decompress and copy the DLL files to C:\Windows\System32 

iconv.dll
libxml2.dll
zlib1.dll

MSVC8 Redistributable

If you plan on using TBToolPack-x.y.zz-msvc8-Setup.exe, then you need to apply all windows updates from MicroSoft AND install the following:

Microsoft MSVC8 Redistributables 8.0.50727.4053 after kb973923 automatic update

Microsoft MSVC8 Redistributables 8.0.50727.5592 after kb2467175 automatic update

Toolpack System Database

The Toolpack system database is used by the main host and requires mySQL database server version 5.1, and ODBC driver 3.51. It can be downloaded from the following location:

1) Go to TelcoBridges download site and get: 

http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/windows/mysql-5.1.56-win32.msi


*** WARNING: Do not run toolpack with a mySQL server version other than 5.1. There are known problems with other versions and Toolpack.

2) Install MySQL 5.1

  • Choose complete installation
  • Run MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard. (You should be prompted to do so after selecting complete installation.)
  • Choose standard configuration
  • Install as a Windows service and check, Launch Automatically.
  • Choose Include Bin Directory in Windows PATH.
  • Enter a User Name and Password, and note them down on paper as you will need them later in the installation process.
  • Enable access from remote machines if you plan to run Tmedia Toolpack on more than one host machine.

3) Create new database user (tbdb) with all privilege access

  • Log in mysql and create a new user with priviledge 
mysql -u root
CREATE USER '[DatabaseUsername]'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '[DatabasePassword]';
GRANT ALL privileges ON *.* TO '[DatabaseUsername]'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '[DatabasePassword]';
exit

Example 

mysql -u root
CREATE USER 'tbdb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'tbdbpw';
GRANT ALL privileges ON *.* TO 'tbdb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'tbdbpw';
exit

4) Install Mysql ODBC driver

  • Get and install Mysql ODBC connector at: 
http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/3rdparty/prerequisite/bin/windows/mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.27-win32.zip
  • Install Mysql ODBC connector

*** WARNING: Do not run toolpack with a ODBC connector other than 3.51, as other versions (such as 5.2) are known to cause memory leak or other problems running Toolpack.

5) Enable mysql database replication

  • Open configuration file at location similar to c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini
  • Add 2 new variable in the mysql config file, and make sure it is in the [mysqld] section: 
log-bin
server-id=[UniqueId]       <--- [UniqueId] must be a non-zero value, and must be unique when used one each host of an HA system

Add max_allowed_packet to increase the maximum size of binary blobs in the database. Make sure it is in the [mysqld] section AND [mysqldump] section (create the [mysqldump] section if it doesn't exist) 

max_allowed_packet = 200MB

Example: 

[mysqld]
port=3306
basedir="C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.1/"
datadir="C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.1/Data/"
default-character-set=latin1
default-storage-engine=INNODB
# Enable mysql database replication
log-bin
server-id=132
max_allowed_packet = 200MB
#
sql-mode="STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
max_connections=100

# section [mysqld_safe]
table_cache=256
tmp_table_size=18M
thread_cache_size=8

[mysqldump]
max_allowed_packet = 200MB

6) Disable virus scanning

It is mandatory to disable the anti-virus software’s on access scan on the MYSQL database directory (generally C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data or C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\data) and the Windows temporary directory(typically identified by the TEMP environmental variable), as this will prevent database backup operation to complete properly upon Toolpack System Update.

7) Restart the mysql service 

 net stop MySQL
 net start MySQL
  • Warning: You may have a different service name in your system (ex. MySQL51, MySQL50, etc.). To open the service control panel, run: 
 services.msc

Toolpack Development Prerequisite

Cygwin

Telcobridges source package is compiled using unix Make application. For this you need to install Cygwin (Linux API layer for Windows).

1) install the latest release of cygwin. http://www.cygwin.com/

2) The "make" package must be manually selected, it is not part of the standard cygwin installation.

  • In the installer view, change to the "Full" view, search for the "make" package, click to install the latest version.

MSDEV

The Makefiles uses Visual Studio C++ compiler and linker. The result compiled code has no dependency on the cygwin.dll library.

The following Microsoft Visual Studio product could be be installed:

  • Visual Studio 6.0 (1998) - MSVC6
  • Visual Studio 2005 - MSVC8

Folder "BashPrompt" Menu item

This small registry entry will add a folder command to the Explorer application. This helper command can be used by right-clicking on a folder where you want to launch a compilation, it will open a console window and setup the proper compiling environment.

For Visual Studio 6.0 user, create a file named "BashPrompt1998.reg" with the following content: 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\BashPrompt1998]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\BashPrompt1998\command]
@="cmd.exe /k pushd \"%L\" && \"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\VC98\\Bin\\VCVARS32.BAT\" && bash"
  • Make sure the path is the same as your installation path.
  • Double click on the file to install in the registry.

For Visual Studio 2005 user, create a file named "BashPrompt2005.reg" with the following content: 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\BashPrompt2005]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\BashPrompt2005\command]
@="cmd.exe /k pushd \"%L\" && \"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\Bin\\VCVARS32.BAT\" && bash"
  • Make sure the path is the same as your installation path.
  • Double click on the file to install in the registry.

Environment variable

To finalize the compiling environment, you must set the following system variable environment (Start->Settings->Control Panel->System->Advanced Tab->Environment variables):

1) add the following path to the "PATH" environment variable, each is separated by a semi-column (;)

  • C:\cygwin\bin;
  • C:\Ruby\bin;

2) add the following variable:

Name Value
MAKE_MODE unix
