i have been trying all day to run this software but I haven't been able to figure it out how. I have read the manual but it didn't help much. when I type "mindtct -b -ml " on the MSYS shell, the command line says "mindtct:command not found". If anyone has used it before please help me out.

  • 1. What does this have to do with Matlab? 2. mindct is part of the ffpis software package, which you must build and compile. These programs aren't supposed to work out of the box. If you are using MSYS, then you're probably not going about it the right way. – Rasman May 20 '12 at 16:38
  • from the MSYS homepage: `A common misunderstanding is MSYS is "UNIX on Windows", MSYS by itself does not contain a compiler or a C library, therefore does not give the ability to magically port UNIX programs over to Windows nor does it provide any UNIX specific functionality like case-sensitive filenames. Users looking for such functionality should look to Cygwin or Microsoft's Interix instead.` – Rasman May 20 '12 at 16:39
  • 1.> I want to use the text file created by 'mindtct' as an input to the matlab program. 2.>I have installed the complete NBIS package using MSYS as it was recommended in the installation manual. Now I just have to run the mindtct package of it. So, now should I use cygwin or continue with Msys. – nit99kumar May 21 '12 at 04:22
  • I tried running the command with cygwin also. But I got the same result. Bash says " mindtct: command not found ". – nit99kumar May 21 '12 at 04:35
  • just out of curiosity, how do you install the application? – Rasman May 21 '12 at 05:45
  • I downloaded the package from the site, and since I am Win-64 bit machine, I had to install msys and mingw before the actual installation. then I just followed the instructions given in the manual. I am trying the same to run the software but it says "command not found". – nit99kumar May 21 '12 at 09:50

It sounds like mindtct is not in your PATH. Add the directory containing the compiled mindtct to your PATH, or specify the absolute path to mindtct. Then follow in the instructions in the man page for how to run mindtct to do what you'd like it to do.
