[edit] General

No general items for MADDE 0.6.72 (so far)

[edit] Windows

  • When home directory path has whitespaces MADDE environment sets alternate home directory for user. This breaks interaction with non-msys programs in some special cases (almost all 'qmake' invocations are such a cases). To "fix" this one needs to enter echo >/etc/fstab in MADDE terminal.
  • On some version of Windows, "Madde terminal" takes ages to start. It seems some programs sleep 30 secs doing nothing. (Update: this does not happen to the reporter anymore (too). Maybe related to the windows 7 (64bit) update happened recently).
  • ar p on windows toolhains does LF -> CRLF conversions, breaking output.
  • Some F-Secure products may identify the file xtar.exe suspicious. In this case, mark the file as trusted, and restart the installation process.
  • Some Avira products may identify the file utfs-server.exe suspicious.
  • MADDE can be only installed on NTFS file system.

[edit] Linux

Madde installer for version 0.6.72 will fail if there is system 'mad' command (package 'mmv' installs such a command).

Simplest workaround is to remove 'mmv' before installation and then reinstall it. Next simplest is to move /usr/bin/mad (or whatever it is called) to different name before MADDE installation.
