installation

to install tkgate follow steps below:

0. obtain , install tcl/tk 8.0 or later.

1. cd directory in unpacked distribution.

2. run configuration script:

./configure

the script run series of tests discover properties of environment , edit config.h file. specific properties tested are:

• o/s: (freebsd, sunos, linux, other)
• compiler: (gcc or cc)
• tcl/tk version: (8.0jp, 8.2 or 8.0)
• language support: (japanese/english or english only)
• grammar compiler: (bison or yacc)
• lexical analyizer: (flex or lex)
• test required libs: (-x11)
• test system-dependent libs: (-xpg4, -ldl, -lsocket, -lnsl, -lm)
• test long long: ("1" or "0")
• test optreset requirement: ("1" or "0")
• check os name determine signal() semantics: (handler disabled/reenabled on catch)

the following actions performed:

• config.h edited reflect results of tests above.
• top-level makefile built using xmkmf
• subdirectory (src/common, src/tkgate, src/gsim, src/gmac) makefiles built using xmkmf
• include file links built
• dependencies built.

normally configuration take place automatically, if components such tcl/tk in non-standard locations may need edit config.h , add required directories tkgate_incdirs , tkgate_libdirs.

3. edit file config.h change install directory locations if necessary. default, executables installed in "/usr/x11r6/bin", man pages in "/usr/x11r6/man/man1", , library files in "/usr/x11r6/lib/tkgate-1.6g". not edit of lines between begin-auto , end-auto lines these automatically generated configure script.

4. edit file "sitename.txt" specify name site. name appear on traces , circuit diagrams printed tkgate. default name "earth" (probably correct users, maybe little unspecific). users can override site name editing preferences.

5. compile tkgate using command:

make

6. install tkgate using commands:

 make install      make install.man

if don't have write access install directories, can run tkgate compilation directory used secondary home directory. can explicitly set home directory setting enviornment variable tkgate_home. executable tkgate in src/tkgate/tkgate.

7. (optional) set protection on file "tkgate-error.log" in tkgate home directory publicly writable. tkgate makes internal consistency checks , logs problems file (these potential problems tkgate, not circuit being edited). if file unwritable, errors logged file of same name in current directory. file should have few or no entries.
