DGScript

By Julian Cable and John Hind.

Purpose

DGScript is a generic add-in for the DigiGuide EPG (version 4 or above) which enables functionality to be added using scripting techniques rather than C++. It is typically used to add menu items for automatically starting programme viewers or recorders.

Build

You can build the addin using any Windows C++ development environment but we did have some problems with VisualStudio including references to hard to get DLLs. I use Mingw. Assuming you will do the same:

1. download and install Mingw
2. create a folder, e.g. C:\Mingw\dgscript
3. download and extract DGscript-src.zip to the folder
4. download and extract the Digiguide headers to the folder
5. launch an MS-DOS window, change directory to the folder
6. add the Mingw bin directory to the path, e.g.

   PATH=%PATH%;C:\Mingw\bin

7. type:

   make

Binaries

If you got here but just want to use DGscript then the main page has the binary distribution.
