To Arjen and Jerry:
Jerry was not running pltcl correctly. See
examples/tcl/README.tcldemos for how to do that (plinit first). Those
directions are followed in the configured file
plplot_test/test_tcl.sh(.in) which in turn is run by the configured
file plplot_test/plplot-test.sh(.in). The CMake logic in
examples/CMakeLists.txt that uses plplot_test/plplot-test.sh, is
somewhat complicated since there are many languages (and associated
targets) which need to be set up in a loop to test those languages
with -dev psc), but the result is the test_tcl_psc target runs
plplot_test/plplot-test.sh for the tcl language and psc device which
in turn runs test_tcl.sh.
In the past, both of you have reported good results for tcl using the
test_diff_psc target (which in turn depends on the test_tcl_psc
target). So if the test_tcl_psc target still works for you, then you
have proved that Tcl and pltcl continues to be set up correctly on
your systems.
Those directions in examples/tcl/README.tcldemos are also followed in
the configured version of examples/tcl/standard_examples.in in the
build tree, which in turn is run by the test_tcl_standard_examples
target that is available if you use the -DBUILD_TEST=ON option. To
see what is actually run by that target look in
examples/CMakeLists.txt where you will find the line
COMMAND ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/tcl/standard_examples -dev xwin -np
where, of course, ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} refers to the examples
subdirectory of the build tree and the -np option stands for "no pause"
(so you don't have to keep hammering the return key to get through the
examples).
@Jerry: I think that test_tcl_standard_examples target should just
work for you if -dev xwin works and if you have Tcl set up properly on
your system.
@Arjen: that target depends on -dev xwin which is not available on
your Windows system. But I believe in the past you have gotten
examples/tcl/standard_examples in the the build tree to work by hand
for the interactive devices that are available to you on Windows. If
you confirm that again, and assuming the interactive device you use is wingcc
then
I suggest you add another stanza to the examples/CMakeLists.txt file
like this:
if(ENABLE_tcl AND PLD_xwin)
.... current logic ....
elseif(ENABLE_tcl AND PLD_wingcc)
.... almost exact copy of current logic with xwin replaced
by wingcc ....
endif(ENABLE_tcl AND PLD_xwin)
Then you should also be able to run the test_tcl_standard_examples
target without issues if Tcl and -dev wingcc are set up properly on
your system.
@both of you: of course the test_tcl_psc target and the
test_tcl_standard_examples target only test Tcl and do not test Tk. I
think the only chance for you to test Tk for your non-X versions of Tk
will involve the tkwin shared object. However, some C source code
updating will be required to get that shared object to work with
modern PLplot as discussed previously in this thread.
