MPTK Troubleshooting

1. did you launch it from the command line ? It cannot work if launched by clicking the Icon since the cwd and MPTK_CONFIG_FILENAME are not properly configured. If you know how to solve this issue please contribute!

2. did you set up the MPTK_CONFIG_FILENAME environment variable ?
   

3. did you set up to an existing path.xml file ? You can check it by running the <give an example of mpd or mpf command that should send an error message if there is a problem> command.
4. did you launch it from the working directory path_to_MPTK/bin ?
5.  the GUI is beta and we welcome your contribution to stabilize it!

CMake can manage the Qt version with the DESIRED_QT_VERSION variable that you may set with 4

Another alternative solution is to override all the Qt library and includes path in the CMake GUI ccmake.

On all plateform, the utilities need an environment variable called MPTK_CONFIG_FILENAME to be set with the path
of the path.xml file located in the bin directory.
This file defines the path to the Atoms/Block plugin location. On Windows system in the case you have installed MPTK library and utilities in an non standard directory
(eg different of "C:/Program Files/MPTK-0.5.4") you have to modify the path inside of this file with the real installation path.

In order to set an environment variable on Linux like os:
-with Bash shell:
export MPTK_CONFIG_FILENAME="path_to_MPTK/bin/path.xml"
-with C-shell:
setenv MPTK_CONFIG_FILENAME "path_to_MPTK/bin/path.xml"
You can check if the environment variable is correctly set with:
echo $MPTK_CONFIG_FILENAME
In order to set environment variable on Windows like system:
Lauch a command line and use the SET command:
SET MPTK_CONFIG_FILENAME=path_to_MPTK/bin/path.xml
for example SET MPTK_CONFIG_FILENAME=C:/Program Files/MPTK-0.5.4/bin/path.xml
To check if the environment variable is correctly set you can use the ECHO command:
ECHO %MPTK_CONFIG_FILENAME%
