Verified ~upd~ - Gateman 1544 Manual
Last update : 10/13/2019
This section will go over the basic requirements of building Allegro 5. There are quite a few optional dependencies that you would probably like to have support for compiled in. Don't worry, we'll get to that. First the build tools, and then second, the dependencies, and third, allegro.
Before that, here are a few downloads made available for your convenience :
32 or 64 bit MinGW-W64 compiler (latest available here)
MinGW-W64-GCC81_i686_Posix_Dwarf.7z (32 bit MinGW compiler)
MinGW-W64-GCC81_x86_64_Posix_SEH.7z (64 bit MinGW compiler)
Dependency Source Package :
DepSources.7z
The source package includes the following libraries source code prepared for you. These are the latest releases as of 02/26/2019 : (an a following the version indicates I had to modify it slightly)
- Allegro 4.4.3
- Allegro 5.2.5
- Enet 1.3.14a
- FLAC 1.3.2
- Freetype 2.9
- libGIF 5.1.4
- libDUMB Kode54 2.0.3
- libJpegTurbo 2.0.2
- libOgg 1.3.3
- libTheora 1.1.1a
- libVorbis 1.3.6

- libOpusFile 0.9
- PhysFS 3.0.1
- libTIFF 4.0.10
- libWebP 1.0.2
MSYS :
MSYS 1.0.11.7z

Build Tools
7-Zip
Some of the archives come in 7z or tar.gz format. The 7-zip archiver handles these files neatly. Download and install from here :

MinGW-W64
First you need a working build of MinGW. The MinGW-W64 project provides up to date, working, active versions of the latest gcc built for windows. You can get 32 or 64 bit compilers, but for portability I still recommend 32 bit, so you can share with a larger majority of your users.
On the Sourceforge download page, you can find the latest versions of MinGW-W64. Scroll down to see the release builds. Building Allegro 5 has been tested with MinGW-W64 GCC versions 7.1, 7.2, and 8.1. gateman 1544 manual verified
Download the archive for your selected compiler version and architecture. Extract the contents of the folder and move the resulting mingw32 folder to c:\mingw.
MSYS 1.0
To build several of the dependency libraries, we need to use MSYS 1.0.11 to use the autotools builds.
Instructions for installing MSYS 1.0 can be found here. You need to install MSYS 1.0.11, the MSYS DTK, and then extract the MSYS Core over the top of your new installation. Install to the default location, which is C:\msys. I put together an archive containing all the files you need to install MSYS 1.0.11. Find it here : When you are inside and don't want anyone
MSYS_1pt0pt11.7z
Next, run your new msys.bat file in your new c:/msys/1.0 folder to launch the MSYS shell. Verify you have a working installation and the path is set correctly. By default, msys will add c:\mingw\bin to its path. At the terminal, type
g++ --version
It should output the version of gcc you are using. If so, you're good to go. Emergency Power: The 9V Battery Hack Enter your
CMake 3
You can get the latest cmake on the Download page. When you install cmake, choose the option to add cmake to your %PATH%
Git
Download the latest git and install, choosing the option to add git to the system path for the current user.
NASM
NASM is used for building parts of libjpeg-turbo. If you're using a different libjpeg, feel free to skip this step. Otherwise, download v2.13.03 here, or find a newer version.
HTML Help Workshop
HTML Help Workshop lets you compile html into chm, which is a much easier format to navigate and read. You can get it from Microsoft.
When you are inside and don't want anyone (even those with a valid PIN) to enter, slide the internal forced lock switch to . This disables the external keypad. 4. Emergency Power: The 9V Battery Hack
Enter your desired pin code on the exterior keypad. Press the [I] button again to complete the registration.
Note: Always perform this with the door open to avoid accidental lockouts! 2. Registering Key Tags (RFID)
This guide serves as your comprehensive, verified walkthrough for programming, operating, and maintaining the Gateman 1544 series. 1. Quick Start: Programming Your Master Code
Most digital locks are designed for the 1.5V output of Alkaline batteries; rechargeables (1.2V) can cause erratic behavior.
This is usually the low-battery warning. Replace all 4 AA batteries with high-quality Alkaline brands (avoid mixing old and new).
Press the button again to finish. Verification Tip: Existing cards are deleted when you start a new registration session, so register all cards at the same time. 3. Core Features & Operations Automatic vs. Manual Locking
If your model supports RFID cards or "Touch Keys," follow these steps: Press the button on the interior unit.
While holding the battery in place, wake up the keypad and enter your PIN. Once inside, replace the 4 AA batteries immediately. 5. Troubleshooting Common Issues
To prevent fingerprint patterns from being traced on the keypad, the 1544 requires a "Palm Touch." You touch the keypad with your palm to wake it up, enter the code, and then touch it again with your palm to verify. Double Lock Mode (Internal Privacy)
