[OpendTect_Users] Madagascar Link error

[Raman Singh]

Hi Chris,

When you run OpendTect or one of it batch programs from the Cygwin 
console the file paths get messed up because OpendTect has been built as 
a native Windows application and therefore uses file paths in 
Windows-style whereas Cygwin prefers the Unix-style file paths. If I 
want to get into the diagnostics mode I would run an OpendTect batch 
program from the Windows command prompt. An even easier approach would 
be to run OpendTect itself as a console application by directly running 
bin\win64\Release\od_main_console.exe from the OpendTect installation 
directory. Then if you have the environment variable DTECT_DEBUG set, a 
lot of messages should appear in a Windows console.

Coming back to the Madagascar link in OpendTect, please check the following:
1. The environment variable RSFROOT should be set to the Madagascar 
installation folder in Windows-style path. So, one should use 
C:\progs\Madagascar\inst153 and NOT \cygdrive\c\progs\Madagascar\inst153.
2. The environment variable PATH should include the cygwin binary path 
(typically C:\cygwin64\bin) for 64-bit installations.

In your previous email you mentioned the following issue:

OpendTect ignores the '<' and '>' redirection operators in Madagascar 
command line and expects the input/output (if any) to be specified 
through the Input/Output fields in the user interface. Since you are 
trying to output to a disk file directly, you should use the output type 
'Madagascar' and specify the output file name there. On the command line 
use the program name and the other parameters only. In this particular 
case, the command line should have only 'sfaatr lval=2'.

I hope this helps. If you still have issues/questions, please write back 
to us.

Best regards,
Raman
