Ptolemy Windows XP Installation

Quick nt4 Installation Instructions

1. Download and install Cygwin http://www.cygwin.com
Install the gnu compiler
2. Download Ptolemy using CVS

   cd c:/foo
   cvs -d :pserver:anon@source.eecs.berkeley.edu:/home/cvs/cvsanon login
   # No password needed, hit enter
   cvs -d :pserver:anon@source.eecs.berkeley.edu:/home/cvs/cvsanon co ptclassic
   mv ptclassic ptolemy
   cd ptolemy
   export PTOLEMY=`pwd`
   export PTARCH=`bin/ptarch`
   export PT_USE_X11_PXGRAPH=yes
   export PATH=${PTOLEMY}/bin:${PTOLEMY}/bin.xp:${PATH}
   

   Note that PTOLEMY should be set to /cygdrive/c/yourDirectory, not c:/yourDirectory. This will avoid problems in configure.
3. Download gcc-2.95.3 from http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cxh/pt0.7.2/pt0.7.2devel.gnu.tar.gz

   user:   ptdevel
   password: ptrules
   

   cd $PTOLEMY/..
   tar -xzf /tmp/pt0.7.2devel.gnu.tar.gz
   cd $PTOLEMY
   make install_gnu
   

4. You may need to create a link for gcc:

   cd /usr/bin
   ln -s gcc.exe cc.exe
   

   and the rerun make:

   cd $PTOLEMY
   rm -rf obj.xp/gnu
   make install_gnu
   

5. Problem:

   ptolemy/src/gnu/src/gcc/gcc/prefix.c:69: windows.h: No such file or directory
   

   I had to edit ptolemy/src/gnu/src/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/prefix.c and insert "w32api/":

   #ifdef _WIN32
   #include 
   #endif
   

6. I had to edit ptolemy/obj.xp/gnu/gcc/gcc/Makefile and add "-I/usr/include/w32api"

   prefix.o: prefix.c $(CONFIG_H) system.h Makefile prefix.h
   	$(CC) $(ALL_CFLAGS) $(ALL_CPPFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) -I/usr/include/w32api \
   	-DPREFIX=\"$(prefix)\" \
   	  -c `echo $(srcdir)/prefix.c | sed 's,^\./,,'`
   

   and then run

   cd $PTOLEMY
   make install_gnu
   

7. Download the "other.src" tar file, which includes Tcl/Tk.
Note that we need to untar it in a separate directory and then copy the Tcl/Tk installation over.

8. anonomous class type problem:

     /cygdrive/c/cxh/src/ptolemy/obj.xp/gnu/gcc/gcc/xgcc
     -B/cygdrive/c/cxh/src/ptolemy/obj.xp/gnu/gcc/gcc/
     -B/cygdrive/c/cxh/src/ptolemy/gnu/xp/i686-pc-cygwin32/bin/
      -c -g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates -I.
     -I/cygdrive/c/cxh/src/ptolemy/src/gnu/src/gcc/libio
     -I/cygdrive/c/cxh/src/ptolemy/src/gnu/src/gcc/libio/../winsup/include
      -nostdinc++  -fpic
      /cygdrive/c/cxh/src/ptolemy/src/gnu/src/gcc/libio/filebuf.cc
      -o pic/filebuf.o
   cc1plus: warning: -fpic ignored for target (all code is position independent)
   In file included from /usr/include/sys/signal.h:107,
                    from /usr/include/signal.h:5,
                    from /usr/include/time.h:150,
                    from /usr/include/sys/stat.h:9,
                    from /cygdrive/c/cxh/src/ptolemy/src/gnu/src/gcc/libio/filebuf.cc:29:

   make[5]: *** [filebuf.o] Error 1

   make[4]: *** [all-target-libio] Error 2
   make[4]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/cxh/src/ptolemy/obj.xp/gnu/gcc'
   

   Solution: edit ptolemy/obj.xp/gnu/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin32/libio/Makefile and add -fpermissive

   CXXINCLUDES = -I. -I$(srcdir) -I$(srcdir)/../winsup/include $(NOSTDINC) -fpermissive
   

   and

   .cc.o:
   	test x"$(enable_shared)" != xyes || \
   	  $(COMPILE.cc) -fpermissive $(PICFLAG) $< -o pic/$@
   	$(COMPILE.cc) $<

9. cd $PTOLEMY/..
   mkdir tmp
   cd tmp
   tar -xf /tmp/pt0.7.2devel.other.src.tar.gz 
   cd ptolemy/src/tcltk
   mv tcl8.0.5pt $PTOLEMY/src/tcltk/tcl/8.0.5
   mv tk8.0.5pt $PTOLEMY/src/tcltk/tk8.0.5
   

10. Download and install X11 development libraries and headers by running the Cygwin setup program.
11. Do some setup, creating $PTOLEMY/obj.xp and creating makefiles from make.template

    cd $PTOLEMY
    ./MAKEARCH
    make makefiles
    cd octtools
    make makefiles
    

12. Run the builds

    make ntbuild
    

    This rule build tcltk, octtools and Ptolemy Classic
