[Plplot-general] tk drivers problem

From: Aldric L'Hernault<Aldric.L'<Her...@mo...> - 2003-07-08 10:24:37

Hello

I cannot compile plplot 5.2.1 on HP since the
compile-time 'get-drv-info' binary fails when given
'tk' or 'tkwin' as argument. 

My questions are:
- is the driver info platform dependant ?
- if not, can someone provide me with
the content of tk.rc and tkwin.rc file ?

Thanks for your time,

 Aldric

Does it work for all the other drivers?  Could you please send the build log
to us?

No, they are ascii files.

The files are attached below.

Thanks Rafael for your answer. I could go on with the *.rc
files you sent me.

The drivers seem OK now. I tried to send the build log but
it got bounced (over 40kB)

I still got problems but with with tcl bindings this time.
The pkgIndex.tcl file states a 5.3.0 version, but I am
compiling 5.2.1, and shared libraries names end with 8.0 !
I'll dig a bit further this afternoon ...

Send it privately to me, if you still have problems.

The "5.3.0" string that shows up in pkgindex.tcl has its origin in this code
in configure.ac:

### LIBRARY_VERSION must be kept consistent with the libtool SOVERSION so
### that the various configured pkgIndex.tcl scripts know the numerical
### suffix of the PLplot libraries.  This may generate cross-platform
### tcl/tk issues for certain unices which do not have a numerical suffix
### on their shared libraries, but this should be addressed when the rest
### of the tcl/tk PLplot configuration is updated to work for the non-Linux 
### case.

LIBRARY_VERSION=5.3.0
AC_SUBST(LIBRARY_VERSION)


IIRC, this was written by Alan.  The warning in the comments above apply to
the HPUX case.  The assumption that the soname will be 5.3.0 in all systems
is clearly wrong.

As an interim solution, you may try to change "LIBRARY_VERSION=5.3.0" to
"LIBRARY_VERSION=8.0" (or whatever) in your HPUX system.  We will eventually
try to find a fix for this problem.

Aldric, one proposal we have been discussing on plplot_devel is drop the
library version altogether from pkgIndex.tcl.
Here is the result of ls -l in $prefix/lib on my system.

Thus, referring to the *.so library name will automatically access the full
versioned library under Linux.  Could you give us similar output for HPUX
so we can discover what is possible in that case?

Thanks in advance.

Here is my listing (libplplot* all follow same scheme)
-rw-r--r--    libplplotcxxd.a
-rwxr-xr-x    libplplotcxxd.la
lrwxr-xr-x    libplplotcxxd.sl -> libplplotcxxd.sl.8.0
lrwxr-xr-x    libplplotcxxd.sl.8 -> libplplotcxxd.sl.8.0
-rwxr-xr-x    libplplotcxxd.sl.8.0

Dropping library version from pkgIndex.tcl would be fine
for HPUX too since the *.sl -> *.sl.8.0 links exist.

Thanks for your help.
