[Plplot-general] C and tcl sharing the matrix

[tex c. <te...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am using Tcl and plplot to draw large amount of data. The data will be
processed in C and I am trying to compile the example codes xtk04.c shows
how to work with matrix in Tcl and shared it with C. The problem is that I
can't compile xtk04.c. I am using Tcl 8.5 and plplot 5.6.10 on Debian 4. I
am using the following command when compiling xtk04.c. "gcc
-I/usr/include/tcl -I/usr/include/plplot xtk04.c -ltcl". Does anyone here
succeed in get the code running?

Thanks!

Frank

I have no access to Debian and version 5.6.10 of PLplot is pretty old 
;). But could you
show us the error messages you get? That may give us a clue as to what 
is causing
the problems.

Try compiling xtk04.c using the instructions provided in the appropriate
Makefile in the install tree
for PLplot.  If you are compiling your own version that would be in the
directory

$prefix/share/plplot$version/examples/tk/

where $prefix is your installation prefix and $version is the version of
PLplot your are building.  I second Arjen's suggestion that you use the
latest version of PLplot for your builds, if that is what you are doing.

If you are just using the Debian package for PLplot called plplot-tcl-dev,
the Makefile with instructions on how to compile xtk04.c should be in
/usr/share/doc/libplplot9/examples/tk/.

Alan,

Thanks! I only have $prefix/share/plplot$version/examples/tcl/ so I test
according to your second suggestion. I copied the makefile and xtk04.c to a
local folder. Then I got the following error message for missing litcl3.2.
itcl 3.2.1.4 was installed.

debian:~/test$ make
/usr/bin/gcc xtk01.c -o xtk01  `PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig
pkg-config --
cflags --libs
plplotd-tcl`
xtk01.c: In function 'main':
xtk01.c:42: warning: passing argument 2 of 'pltkMain' from incompatible poin
ter type
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -litcl3.2
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [xtk01] Error 1

Hm, that suggests that you should pkgconfig to find Itcl as well.
