Spin Installation for agentTool
You have 3 choices:
1.
Starting with agentTool 1.8.3 beta (and above), we will release agentTool
with Spin already included and configured for the Windows environment. If
you are loading agentTool and Spin onto windows, you can simply download the
full version (which includes Spin) and load it into its directory. Spin
should work automatically without further work on your part.
2.
If you are loading agentTool on a PC, you can download
spin.zip
file and extract it into your agentTool file (e.g., C:\agentTool_1.x.x).
It will automatically create the spin subdirectory and load the spin checker.
3.
You can follow these directions to download the latest version of Spin,
etc. However, the latest version of spin will not provide any improvements
over older versions.
NOTE: These instructions assume that AgentTool has been installed into
the C:\agTool directory. If AgentTool has been installed into a different
directory (i.e., c:\agentTool_1.8\), substitute that directory name into the
instructions for C:\agTool.
NOTE: When using Windows NT, the use of a directory name longer than 8
characters prevents Spin from running correctly. Therefore, spin will work
correctly using the default directory name agTool.
Download the archived DJGPP compiler at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/.
The DJGPP compiler is used by SPIN to create executables. The instructions
for installing and running the compiler change over time, so you may to read the
installation instructions at the Simtel site.
