Togl build fails under Fedora Core 1

Logged In: NO

hi...

your problem same as mine so i read installation
instruction and i downloaded tcl and tk source file from
"https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894"
and i tried " python setup.py build_togl
--tcl-source=/your/soure/directory
--tk-source=/your/source/directory" command but i get same
error. So how can i solve this problem ?

Thank you..

Same problem. I am under Gentoo, using python 2.3.3 and tk8.4

This appears to be a problem with the Togl build script not
picking up the libraries for some reason. I'm looking into
it now.

Somehow I deleted the call to copy the option dictionary
into the togl_build command. Darned if I know why I did it,
but putting it back in seems to solve the problem. In
togl_setup.py:

def finalize_options (self):
"""Finalise the options for building, we add Togl-specific
includes/libs"""
distutils.command.build_ext.build_ext.finalize_options( self )
self.distribution._set_command_options(
self, self.distribution.get_option_dict('build_togl')
)
if not Togl or not self.distribution.BUILD_TOGL:
return
tkDirs = ['generic', 'xlib' ]
tclDirs = [ 'generic', 'win', ] #'include', ]

is how the first few lines of finalize_options should look.

Tested on Gentoo, but someone on Fedora should test to see
if it works there. To test, checkout the maint-2_0 branch
from CVS (you'll need SWIG 1.3.13 installed) (or just
manually patch the file as outlined against the 2.0.1.08
tarball).

I have manually patched the togl_setup.py file from the 2.0.1.08
tarball. I don't have swig installed. I have still the same
error :

There is also a lot a file not found before :
...

Okay, let's get down and dirty, add these lines:

self.include_dirs.extend( self.distribution.include_dirs )
self.library_dirs.extend( self.distribution.library_dirs )

just after the lines:

self.include_dirs.extend( newIncludes )
self.library_dirs.append(
os.path.normpath(os.path.join(tk.getvar('tk_library'), '..')) )

the "package init file" warnings are because those
directories are not actually packages, they're just
collections of Python files/scripts. Should fix that some
day I suppose, just more distutils hacking that I really
don't have time for.

Now it builds fine :)
