Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
The most recent version of Tcl/Tk is 7.5/4.1, released in late April
1996. However, BLT development seems to be lagging a bit behind, in a
confused state. (BLT 1.9.0 is reported to work only with the beta
version of 7.5/4.1 Tcl/Tk. I can't get it to compile with final
release version 7.5/4.1. Don't be confused by BLT 2.1 which only works
with tcl/tk 7.3/3.6. BLT 2.1 is the work of others attempting to
upgrade, but hasn't not kept up with the current major re-write of Tk.)
Fall back and regroup.
Better to try the combinations (released in 1995):
package version site
tcl 7.4 ftp.sunlabs.com/pub/tcl
tk 4.1 ftp.sunlabs.com/pub/tcl
tcl-dp 3.4 ftp.cs.cornell.edu/Info/Projects/zeno/Software
BLT 1.8 ftp.cs.uoregon.edu/pub/jhobbs
The first three compile and install with the standard sequence
./configure; make; make install
The only modifications I had to do to get BLT going were to fix
some paths in the Makefile after the ./configure step.
(I choose to install BLT in /usr/local/lib/blt-1.8 instead of
the default /usr/local/blt)
Also, copy the BLT src tree into /usr/local/lib/blt-1.8/src
since tclCa will need at it.
Up till now, you haven't needed to pay attention to any
EPICS-related stuff.
Then, to compile the tclCa, modify Makefile.Unix to identify the
paths to where you've got tcl/tk/dp/blt and modify both
Makefile & Makefile.Unix to target your EPICS installation properly.
Doggone it now, this should work.
