[Plplot-devel] tcl/tk driver build results on Solaris : Needs Help

[Pankaj L. <pa...@da...>]

Hi Alan, Joao,

I tried building Plplot 5.2.0 on Solaris 8, Active tcl/tk 8.4. Following is the
outcome of my try

1.
I get following error while building.
gcc -shared  tclAPI.lo tclMain.lo Pltk_Init.lo plframe.lo plr.lo tcpip.lo

to 40 in tclMain.o  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

What is the cause of this erro? I tried building the source again by commenting
"TclSetStartupScriptFileName, TclGetStartupScrip" functions in tclmain.c in
plplot\binding\tcl folder. It did not gave me any error. Is this the correct
way?

2. After building the shared libraries, I tried to load them using tcl wish. I
get following error
 ~/Plplot11 >wish8.4
 % load libtclmatrix.so
couldn't find procedure Tclmatrix_Init
% load /usr/pankaj/Plplot11/libtclmatrix.so
couldn't find procedure Tclmatrix_Init
% load /usr/pankaj/Plplot11/libplplot.so.5
couldn't find procedure Plplot_Init

What can be the cause of the above error?

Can anybody help me to correct above problems. I have attached output logs of
configure, make and "make install" commands.

Thanks for any help.

regards,
Pankaj.

Was everything built with -D USE_TCL_STUBS -D USE_TK_STUBS?

I wouldn't worry too much about building the executables anyway, using
'load' is much better.

Try 'load libtclmatrix.so Matrix'

(and make sure there is a symbol Matrix_Init in there)

What symbols are in the .so?  I would look for 'Plplotter_Init'

try

load ....libplplplot.so.5 Plplotter

cheers,

Vince.

I am sorry about my ignorance, I am new to Solaris, and tcl/tk.

Where am I suppose to give this options ? I thought ./configure will take care
of every thing once I enable tcl/tk drivers.

Thanks for the help.

regards,
Pankaj.

I don't have access to the combination of tcl/tk and solaris, but I believe
Maurice got tcl/tk to work on solaris for plplot-5.2.0.  I don't know the
details of what he had to do to get it to work.  My understanding is Maurice
is completely under new job pressure at the moment, but eventually I hope he
will be able to answer you.

Hi Maurice,

Did you try building tcl/tk driver on Solaris? Can you please share you
results/changes with me, as I am trying to build plplot 5.2.0 on Solaris. I am
getting following errors .

1. I was getting multiple defination error of "TclSetStartupScriptFileName,
TclGetStartupScrip" symbols. I fixed this by commenting these function in
tclMain.c. I have also defined -D USE_TCL_STUBS -D USE_TK_STUBS flags using
CFLAGS. Are these flags required for building Plplotter with tcl/tk driver. I
could build the shared libraries. I have enabled dynamic drivers.

2. After loading the Plplotter package in wish8.4, I am getting following error
when try to creat a frame.

% plfram .f
Unable to load driver: tkwin_drv.

*** PLPLOT ERROR ***
Unable to load driver
Program aborted

3. When I build the library with only static drivers, I try following I am
getting some more errors.
% package require Plplotter
5.2.0
% Plplotwin .p
.p
% Plplotwin .p2
Error in XCreatePixmap: BadWindow (invalid Windowparameter).
Error in XCreatePixmap: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap orWindow parameter).
Error in XCreatePixmap: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap orWindow parameter).
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Windowparameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 2
(X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
Resource id in failed request: 0x440001a
Serial number of failed request: 38
Current serial number in output stream: 41

Can you please help me to sort out above problems?

Thanks for you time and help.

Regards,
Pankaj.

Looks like you are getting closer -- all this static/dynamic driver stuff
is very unix-specific and not something I know anything about, except that
it seems extraordinarily complex.

p.s. I'm on this mailing list, so no need to email me direct.

Yep, the old paradigm of throwing the fortran, c++, java, and tcl/tk
front-ends, and *all* drivers (and the kitchen sink and the bathtub) into
libplplot was much easier to get right since there were few linking issues
to worry about.  But we started abandoning that paradigm in 5.1.0 with the
introduction of dynamic drivers, and we completely separated the front-ends
from the libplot library for 5.2.0.  I believe the lean/mean results of the
new paradigm (for example being able to dynamically load the tcl/tk plplot
interface from wish and tclsh using "package require") are worth the
additional trouble we have had to take with the linking. I would never want
to go back to the 5.0.x style of linking.
