Source Navigator 5.0 and [incr TCL]

Source Navigator 5.0 and [incr TCL]

Hello Source-Navigator Team.

I've just started playing with SN 5.0 and I can not get it to recognize
classes, methods etc... in my ITCL source.  I've even tried a very
simple
itcl source (see below.)  I'm running under Window NT 4.0 SP6.

I also tried SN 4.5.2 and get the same results.  It ignores the classes,
treats
the methods as functions.  The only "classes" I can get it to recognize
are
tcl namespaces.

Also, if  add an inherit foo line to the Timer class I get an error when
the code
parses.

From what I've seen, SN looks really useful.

Second Question:  whats the proper way to install 5.0 on windows?  The
binaries (.zip file) doesn't have an installer like 4.5.2 does and there
aren't
any instructions.

Thanks
Rodger Hughes.

Yeah, this is a big downer, we only work with Itcl 1.0/2.0 and
not the 3.0 syntax (Yes, this does mean that we can't parser a
big chunk of Source-Navigator).

The required solution is either fix the current Itcl parser
to work with Itcl 3.0 or write a new one (or adapt an existing one).

When will this be done? Well, I was hoping to have an Itcl 3.0
parser by now, I started writing a new parser Tcl/Itcl in PCCTS,
but I've not done anything on it for a while.

Ian.

It is, but the parsers need work.

Yeah, that is something I want to fix in the next release.

Appended are the readme files I am planning on putting in the
next release. Would they have helped?

% cat README
This is Source-Navigator and IDE for C/C++/Java/Tcl/Fortran and a host
of other languages. Source-Navigator includes powerful source code
comprehension features that help a developer understand complex
relationships between elements of a program's source.

Source-Navigator is released under the terms of the GPL; see the 
COPYING file for more information about the GPL.

The Source-Navigator project is hosted at sources.redhat.com:

http://sources.redhat.com/sourcenav/

A public mailing list is available for help or general questions.
Go to the project website to find out how to join the mailing list.

One can find Source-Navigator documentation in the snavigator/doc/html
directory. Documentation is available in HTML format only.

Consult the INSTALL file to learn how to build and install
binaries of Source-Navigator.


% cat INSTALL
Note: These build/install instructions assume that you have
already downloaded and extracted the files from the zip
or tar file.

Generic Build Notes:

We suggest building outside of the source directory. This way, all
build related files for a specific architecture are stored outside
of the source directory. This makes it easy to build multiple
executables from a single source tree.

We suggest building outside of the src directory, this might
be a new concept for most users, but it is really quite simple
once you get the hang of it. With a build dir, all build
related files for a specific architecture are stored outside
of the src directory, so you can build multiple executables
from the same source tree.

UNIX Build:

To build under a UNIX system, simply create a build directory
and run the configure script. The following commands assume
the release is 5.0.1 and that the user wants to install
into a non-default location (/usr/sourcenav).

% mkdir snbuild ; cd snbuild
% ../sourcenav-5.0.1/configure --prefix=/usr/sourcenav
% make
% make install

Windows Build (VC++):

Building under Windows is more tricky when compared to the UNIX
build, be sure to follow the instructions exactly.

Windows versions of Source-Navigator are created using the VC++
compiler and Cygwin. One needs to run the vcvars32.bat script
to setup the needed env vars. Typically, this is done by starting
command.com on Windows 95/98 or cmd.exe under NT and then
running the vcvars32.bat script in the VC++ bin directory.

After VC++ env vars are setup, start a bash shell by cd'ing to
the Cygwin root directory and running cygwin.bat. In the bash
shell, run the following commands.

% export CC=cl
% export CFLAGS="-Z7 -Od"

You can now run the configure script in the normal way. Of course,
there are a couple of things to take note of. First, the configure
script must be run with a relative path (../sourcenav-5.0.1/configure).
Second, the --prefix path must be passed as a Windows native path,
the following example assumes that /usr/sourcenav is mounted
as D:/Cygwin/usr/sourcenav.

% mkdir snbuild ; cd snbuild
% ../sourcenav-5.0.1/configure --prefix=D:/Cygwin/usr/sourcenav
% make
% make install


Binary Install:

To install a binary release of Source-Navigator, extract the
files from the archive and add the sourcenav-5.0.1/bin
directory to your PATH. You can then run Source-Navigator
from the command line using the snavigator script. Windows
users can also double-click on the snavigator.exe executable in
the Explorer.
