Re: [Plplot-devel] Re: tkwin build succeeded. Now need a way to test it

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Well, that fixed the problem, and everything works fine in the resulting GUI
from plplot/tmp with no error/warning messages at all!

So please commit that change *assuming there is no impact on the tk or ntk
drivers.*  (I held back on that commit because I didn't know the meaning
of catch....)

I have just committed a small configuration tweak that should set up the
r*.tcl symlinks properly for plplot/tmp.

So for the others here who want to try this here is the cookbook:

(1) configure --with-tkwin

(2) In the make step you currently need to hand-configure the appropriate
additional options for the compile step for plplotter.c  On my system the
additional options that work for me are

-I/usr/include/tcl8.3/tk-private/generic/ -DHAVE_LIMITS_H
-I/usr/include/tcl8.3/tcl-private/generic/

Then in plplot/tmp

wish
% load libplplotd.so.5.1.0 Plplotter
% package provide Plplotter 5.1.0
% source runAllDemos.tcl

and enjoy the new GUI.

Thanks Vince for being willing to work with me to shake out all the
showstopper problems with tkwin on linux.  I am especially impressed that it
works directly under wish.  I always thought you needed the TEA-based
approach for that.

The next item on my agenda is to put some rudimentary configuration stuff
in for the extra compile flags that you need.  Then I will look at what
you have to do for the install (probably tomorrow).
