'bridge-tk unknown' when trying to run demo

[Andre]

Hi,

I've built SID from cvs on a Mandrake8.0 system.
I'm using the prebuilt arm gcc 2.95.2 based cross compiler tools from
the LART project and (after changing the voice-pager Makefile to look
for arm-linux-g++ instead of arm-elf-g++ as the cross compiler) 'make
all-demos' seemed to run OK.

However, when I try to run the demo I get the same result described on
the mailing list in January ie:

./voice-pager-demo
+ arm-elf-sid --no-run --sidcodec=0xA01300
/home/mccurdy/sid_build/sid/demos/voice-pager/Test-voice-pager.out
Configuration file saved to `Test-voice-pager.out.conf'.
+ sid -f
/home/mccurdy/sid_build/sid/demos/voice-pager/Test-voice-pager.out.conf
-f voice-pager-demo.conf -f
../../../../src/sid/demos/voice-pager/voice-pager-demo.conf.pport
voice-pager-demo.conf:8: component type bridge-tk unknown
voice-pager-demo.conf:9: component panel not found
[more 'component panel not found' messages...]
Configuration error.  Aborting.

The tcl/tk stuff was in the src from cvs and I'm fairly sure was
included in the build sequence (the quick stuff near the beginning,
before many hours of c++ right ? :-).
My /INSTALLTREE/lib directory now contains:

-rw-r--r--   1 root   root     953132 Jul  8 02:11 libexpect5.26.a
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root   root    3865156 Jul  8 02:06 libtcl8.0.a*
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root   root   10554240 Jul  8 02:07 libtk8.0.a*
drwxr-xr-x   2 root   root       3936 Jul  8 02:10 sidcomp/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root   root        216 Jul  8 02:11 sidsamples/
-rw-r--r--   1 root   root       5266 Jul  8 02:06 tclConfig.sh
-rw-r--r--   1 root   root       2683 Jul  8 02:07 tkConfig.sh


Thanks in advance...

Hi, Andre -

Right.  The bridge-tk component requires among other things that the
tcl-bridge component be available as a shared library
(in $prefix/lib/sidcomp) or statically linked into the $prefix/bin/sid
executable, and that the "bridge-tk.tk" file be available in
$prefix/share/sidcomp.  If you are running sid from an installation
directory other than the $prefix you configured for it, you'll need
to set the $SID_EXEC_PREFIX environment variable to point at the
run-time $prefix.

There are other possibilities.  It'd help if you supplied the sid
configure line, tcl-related bits of the "make" transcript, a "ls -lR"
of the entire sid install tree.

(Also, please be aware that this old demo is not frequently tested
any more.)

The sid/configure{.in} script looks for the existence of
a libstdc++ shared library (.so or .dll).  It looks like for
your machine, full shared + static library building is triggered.
The log/ls-lR files you sent over suggest that everything built
and installed as expected.

Running "make check" in the sid build directory is one way to ensure
that the system is built well enough.  Actually using it, by running
or debugging some cross-compiled applications (see the new documentation
or the online FAQ), is the the best way.
