Ptolemy 0.7.2devel Release Notes
Release notes
Changes between 0.7.1p1 and 0.7.2devel
The 0.7.2devel release includes changes for the Adaptive Computing System domain developed by Eric Pauer's group at Sanders, A Lockheed-Martin Corporatio.This release also provides support for Itcl3.0.1/Tcl8.0.4/Tk8.0.4. Ptolemy 0.7.1p1 used Itcl2.2/Tcl7.6/Tk4.2.
Most of the Itcl 3.0 changes are in Tycho.
In addition, Ptolemy 0.7.2devel provides better support for the NT platform.
0.7.1 and 0.7.2devel Compatibility
gcc-2.8 and gcc-2.95.1
Ptolemy 0.7.2devel should compile with gcc-2.7.2.2, but the default compiler we build the binaries with is gcc-2.95.1 Note that under gcc-2.8.2,
compiling with -O -fPIC causes an internal compiler error when
compiling Block.cc, so we are shipping with gcc-2.95.1
For more information about egcs, see
http:/egcs.cygnus.com.
The most common problem with using egcs is that
libg++ is no longer used, so certain include files, such
as std.h are not found at compile time
and certain symbols, such as
ACG::ACG(unsigned int, int) are missing at link time.
Usually, doing a make clean; make install
will solve the problem.
The way we work around this is by defining -DPT_EGCS
in config-egcs.mk and then including that makefile
in the config-$PTARCH.mk file instead of
config-g++.mk.
Note that egcs does not need libg++, so the
SYSLIBS makefile variable is set to not include
-lg++
Ptcl with Tk
Olaf Lenzmann provided patches to Ptolemy that allow ptcl to be used with Tk. This functionality is experimental, and primarily for use with the Microsoft Visual C++ port.- Recompile
src/kernel/Star.ccso that the Tk event loop is called from within Star::run()cd $PTOLEMY/obj.$PTARCH/kernel rm -f Star.o make USERFLAGS="-DPT_PTCL_WITH_TK -I$PTOLEMY/tcltk/tcl/include -I/usr/openwin/include" install
- Create the following
override.mkfile as$PTOLEMY/obj.$PTARCH/ptcl/override.mk
# Override.mk file to create a Ptcl with Tk binary. # You may need to modify the /usr/openwin/include path # to point to your X11 include files GPP_FLAGS += -DPT_PTCL_WITH_TK -I../../src/ptklib -I$PTOLEMY/tcltk/tcl/include -I/usr/openwin/include" PTCL_WITH_TK = 1 TK = 1 # If you are building under Unix, # copy src/tcltk/tk8.0.5pt/generic/tkConsole.c to src/ptcl and then # uncomment the next two lines: #LIBS += tkConsole.o #LIBFILES += tkConsole.o
- Rebuild ptcl
cd $PTOLEMY/obj.$PTARCH/ptcl make clean make
Pxgraph
Pxgraph has been converted to Java. See the troubleshooting guide at.$PTOLEMY/tycho/java/ptolemy/plot/doc/internals/troubleshooting.html
If you don't have Java, see
ftp://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/pub/misc/xgraph/index.html
for pxgraph X11 binaries and sources. See
$PTOLEMY/src/pxgraph/README.txt for details.
To run the Java version of pxgraph, you must do one of the following:
- Set the
JAVAHOMEenvironment variable to point to the directory where the Java Development Kit is installed. For example, your.cshrcmight containsetenv JAVAHOME /opt/jdk1.1.7B
- If you do not set
JAVAHOME, then the pxgraph script will search your path for thejavacbinary. Ifjavacis found, then the directory above it is used for the value ofJAVAHOME - You can also edit
$PTOLEMY/bin/pxgraphdirectly and adjust theJAVADEFAULTvariable.

Normal.h:line 62. (Olaf Lenzmann)
* src/compat/nt.vc/sys/time.h:
nt4.vc: Problems compiling DERealTimeStar.cc

* src/domains/sdf/dsp/stars/make.template:
nt4.vc: Added DLLDEPS makefile variable so that we

(Bilung Lee)
* src/kernel/Display.cc:
If the system() call returns non-zero, print an error message

#include stdio
* src/kernel/PortHole.h
setPortIndices returns an int
* src/kernel/Star.h
setStarIndices returns an int
* src/kernel/State.h:
If PTNT is defined, then include errno.h
various methods are not void, they actually return an int
* src/kernel/Linker.sysdep.h:
If PT_NT4VC is defined, then don't include dlcfn etc.
* src/kernel/Message.cc
Add #include
* src/kernel/Star.cc
If PT_PTCL_WITH_TK is defined, then we call Tcl_DoOneEvent()
everytime a star is fired. This is currently only used by the nt4.vc
port (Olaf Lenzmann)
* src/kernel/isa.h:
nt4.vc: ptcl starts up, but there are no commands
The fix is to edit isa.h and modify the quote macro to
use the ansi cpp syntax:
* src/kernel/miscFuncs.h
nt4.vc: DERealTimeStar.cc fails to compile, the fix
The fix is to modify miscFuncs.h so that when we include
stdlib.h, we undef min and max
* src/kernel/miscFuncs.cc
Increase the size of the tempFileName buffer
nt4vc: Read the TEMP variable to determine what directory to use
(Olaf Lenzmann)
* src/kernel/paths.cc:
ptcl.ptiny fails to start with messages about not being able
to find the binary.
The fix is to modify kernel/paths.cc so it searches for backslashes
under nt4.vc
However, a problem persists unless we call ptcl.ptiny.exe.
This is because pathSearch does not look for .exe files
* src/pxgraph/README.txt:
Added message about running the X11 pxgraph from the Java version

In Ptolemy 0.7.1 and later, we changed the name of these files and substituted in the string "percent" for the character "%". * src/octtools/vem/utility/colors.c: vuWhite(): Don't call WhitePixel here, instead, get the color by name. The value for WhitePixel apparently is the value for the default colormap. If we have a TrueColor map, then the value of WhitePixel will be out of range if we use it with a PseudoColor map * src/octtools/lib/make.template: Don't install the 'Vem' file, we don't use it anyway, and it causes problems when extracting the tar files under NT
