This is the installation manual of PiTcl 0.5, as of
August 29, 1999. For a documentation of the available commands you should
read the command reference.
Before starting the compilation and installation a few notes:
-
You have managed to unpack this package in a directory of
your choice, whether it was gzipped tar-archive or a
zip-archive. The path of the file you are reading now is
something like .../pitcl0.5/doc/install.?.
The .../pitcl0.5-part of it is that we will
call the source-directory from now on.
This package depends in its operation on quite a few others. Here
is a list of them:
tcl |
of course. The package will compile with all versions from
8.0 and beyond.
|
pilot-link |
This library does the grunt work for us, i.e. the handling
of the low-level communication with the pilot, sending,
receiving commands and data.
|
The following subsections describe the process of compiling and
installing PiTcl for unix. Other platforms may follow, depending
on the availability of pilot-link and tcl on them.
