    That's actually not a bad idea. 0-]  I'll add it to the TODO list.
I think there are actually some really good Tcl Tutorials out there, I
just need to find a couple and put some links in there.

    I'm glad you were able to make it do what you wanted.  I recently gave
a little Tcl tutorial to someone trying to do optional builds from the
command-line.  It's not documented yet, but I added a -D and a -d option
to command-line builds.  -D specifies a single variable, and -d specifies
a .tcl file to be sourced after the project is loaded but before builds.  IE:

./installbase -b -DVersion 1.0a6 -d /my/tcl/file.tcl project.mpi

    And so on...

    Thanks for the help in figuring out the bugs too. 0-]

[Installbase-devel] Wow, great stuff!

[Roy S. <ro...@Si...>]

Just a big thanks for creating a great install program.

A problem I had with it trying to make the install background form show
a picture and the text. I just went into the Tcl code on the advanced
tab and changed the if test a little. This rocks!

In the documentation under advanced it would be a good idea to include a
link to a web site that gives a simple "hello world" intro to Tcl for
programmers like me that just need to see what the syntax is doing.

    Fixes for both bugs (divide-by-zero and BWidgetInit) have been committed
to CVS.  Really sorry I didn't catch these sooner, but thank you guys for
reporting them.

Re: [Installbase-devel] My installs fail (windows & linux)

[Damon C. <da...@yo...>]

    Ack!  This is an ugly legacy bug from the old freewrap days.  I will
commit a change very shortly.  I also remember seeing the divide-by-zero
bug a bit back, so I will commit a fix for that as well.  Look for it
sometime today.

    Thanks for finding it.  It only shows how badly I need testers who
put the releases through their paces before release. 0-]

Initial Comment:
Hi all,

I am trying to use (for some time now) the latest
CVS installbase (last update 28/03/2003) but without
much success. I am able to build small installs that
install a few files, but the produced installs fail
when I try to build the install I want.

First of all, the first problem comes from the
fact that files with size 0 cannot be added.
(The code that updates the scrollbars devides
some quantity with the file size and an error
occurs when the size is 0). My app also
contains tclhttp, which has some files with size 0.

However, removing these files allows the install
to be created, but when I try to run it, I get
the error:

invalid command name "::zvfs::list"
while executing
"::zvfs::list $dir/*"
(procedure "BWidgetInit" line 3)
in main.tcl.

I don't know how to fix it :-) Any ideas?

George

    In the "Project Preferences" there is an option you can turn on to
tell InstallBase to create new file groups when adding directories.  If
you turn that option on and then add your directory, new file groups will
be created, and they will maintain your entire directory structure.

    I am currently looking into changing this behavior, but I haven't gotten
any opinions on what I should do.  If you turn on directory creation and
just add your toplevel directory, you should be able to build an install of
your program just like that.  All the rest is just fancy options. 0-]

    Please let me know if you have any trouble.  I'll be glad to help you
out.

    So, you are trying to execute an external program on a UNIX platform
I would assume?  A shell script?  I will check on the "External Program"
component and make sure it's functioning properly.  That only fires at
the end of the entire install though.

    Ultimately, you should be able to distribute the install as a single
file.  I really don't want the way that some are forced to do it now
with zipping (or tar'ing) the install with external scripts and the like.
When everything is said and done, you should be able to execute everything
from within the single binary.

    Give me a little background on what you're doing, and I can probably

Re: [Installbase-devel] Where are the docs?

That browser thing fixed the help problem.

Now I will read the documentation about Components and External
Programs. I have tried that but it has yet to actually run any thing.

As for my quick fix to running a program before install I was just
wrapping the install in my own script after it was made. That works but
I was hoping for a better way.

Thanks for the fast reply.

    The devel list is pretty much it.  There currenly isn't much of
a support group of users, so I figured requests could all go here for
now. :)

    It crashes?  Really?  Wow.  Well, a little help can be gotten by
going into your preferences (File -> Preferences) and selecting a new
web browser for help browsing.  I guess the Linux binaries that are
loaded for the help browser are causing the crash.  InstallBase was
recently re-written with a new system, and I think this is one of the
problems yet to be resolved.

> I need the installer to run a simple script before installing and

> Where is the best place to put that?

    Well, currently, running a script before the install begins isn't
supported, but it's not impossible.  Running a script after the install
is easy.  There is a component in the "Install Components" section that
allows you to specify an external program to run.  I assume you're
talking about running a shell script or the like?

    To run a script before the install begins, currently, you need to
modify a little Tcl code.  I'll walk you through it though.  What do
you want to run?  A script that is included in the install, or an
external program you expect to have on the target system?

    The best possible thing you (or anyone else on this list) can do for
the project is to use it and report bugs.  Report bugs and request
feature enhancements.  Those two things will help me immensely.  I hate
buggy software, and I do my best to fix things as quickly as possible.
And, I love feature enhancements.  They make the project better in the
end.

Thanks for the time,

[Installbase-devel] Where are the docs?

[Roy S. <ro...@Si...>]

No users list?

Where is the documentation for InstallBase?
Every time I click on the help ? icon in the top right it crashes?
I am running this on Linux, Mandrake 9.0 mostly.

I need the installer to run a simple script before installing and
another simple script after the install.
Where is the best place to put that?

I would like to learn about Tcl scripts to help this project along. I
have written my own install for Win32 but never had time to port it over
to Linux. This is a great project, I would like to help if I have time.

[Installbase-devel] Adding files and directories

[Damon C. <da...@yo...>]

    Let me get some opinions here.  How do you think adding files and
directories should work?  I'm starting to re-think the current way.

    Currently, adding a directory recursively adds all of its files
either in newly-created file groups or a single file group.  I'm thinking
of just letting the directory exist in the file group and recursively
packing all of its files at build time.

    What I mean is, you drop a directory, and it just adds the directory
to the file group instead of all the files.  Then, you'll be able to dig
down into the directory through the tree and check or uncheck which files
you want to add to the install.

    Any new file found in a directory would be checked by default unless
it were explicitly unchecked.  I think there would also be a way to
specify that files that match a list of patterns would also be unchecked
by default.

    Any ideas?  Do you like the way it is now?  The trade off is that by
only adding a single directory, it would just drop without having to run
through the entire directory.  Also, loading projects with large amounts
of files would no longer be an issue.  It would just load the one directory
without having to recurse for all the files.

    What do you think?

    Yeah.  It's waiting on a new release of other projects that are set
to release this week. 0-]  Actually, the InstallBase release has been
waiting for over 2 months now on new releases to make it work.

    I say waiting, but I've been adding lots of new features in those
two months.  I want to get alpha 4 out the door, so I can concentrate
on making a roadmap for 1.0 final.

    Anyway, the new release will be forthcoming this week, as soon as
I get some other releases. 0-]

Hi damon,

If you need some help in the documentation part, I would be willing to
assist you in creating that.
Is there also any new about the new version?

Kind regards, Tom.

    Actually, a new version of InstallBase should be coming out this
week that no longer uses freewrap.  Once that happens, the documentation
on InstallBase can be a little lax in some places, but it's mostly
there.

    I still want to spend some time working on the tutorial a little. I
think that is the most requested document still left unfinished.

Thanks,

Damon

Okay great news!
I will certainly look forward to it.
Is there a separate document besides the Help-function?
If you have it in some other format I would be happy to make PDF files
for you.

Kind regards, Tom.

Hello,

I am trying to find some docs for the usage of Install-Base under Unix
(Solaris 8)

At this moment I get an error message:
Could not find the freewrap binary for sparc-SunOS-!
I have done the configure, but no links are created anywhere for the
freewrap, only for freewish in the mpi config file. Also the
distribution does not have the static directory.....

Any help would be grateful!=20
