'gpsim' and 'grapiclcd' can be installed with "Synaptic" or
sudo apt-get install gpsim gpsim-lcd-graphic
.. providing gpsim version 0.20.0 and grapiclcd version 0.3.0 .

.....
.....
"Build requires" to compile the source code :
sudo apt-get install \
libpopt-dev libgtkextra-x11-2.0-dev flex bison libreadline-dev
.. 'byacc' can cause errors, > > bison is installed, no byacc.

' grapiclcd-0.4.0 ' is buggy, please use 'the later version' =
SVN : http://gpsim.sourceforge.net/gpsim.html#svn
(( .. browse code ..
http://gpsim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gpsim/trunk/ ))

Required commands ...
1) mkdir gsim-svn
2) cd gsim-svn/
3) svn checkout https://gpsim.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gpsim/trunk .
.. And don't forget the dot ( . ).

.. When the new code is downloaded ..
4) libtoolize
5) aclocal
6) autoheader
7) automake --add-missing
8) autoconf
9) ./configure --prefix=/usr/
10) make
.. and remove other versions of 'gpsim' installed to /usr/
.. or /usr/local/ , if you want "lcd" and / or "graphic_lcd".
11) sudo make install
12) cd extras/lcd/
13) .. repeat commands ' 4 .. 11 '
14) cd ../ graphic_lcd/
15) .. repeat commands ' 4 .. 11 '
.....
16) .. No more commands..

.. everything has been installed
to /usr/ .... and then : Good luck ! ...

...

First thanks for your awnser

So i'm going to test that and mark the post as solved if it's works

thanks again knudfl

PS : the error with GPSIM is when i'have installed it with synaptic ...

The only isue, I had now, when testing 'gpsim' comes from
the used './configure' instead of './configure --prefix=/usr/'.

The 'gpsim' binary seems to be hard coded to look for libraries
in /usr/lib/ only. So either " ./configure --prefix=/usr/ "
or you will have to link the used libraries to /usr/lib/.

..... 'gpsim' opens a nice GUI .....

gpsim: error while loading shared libraries: libgpsimcli.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Sorry but it didn't work ...

Any suggest ?

May be I've to configure again with your last suggestion ...

I'll post another thread after testing

Thank you a million kundfl it's now working

To sum up your solution :

If you're trying to install gpsim on Ubuntu (9.10) or other Debian distribution you will get some errors even you try installing them with synaptic or the tarball given on the site

The better solution is to use Subversion :

1) mkdir gsim-svn this create a folder were we are going to download the source from svn
2) cd gsim-svn/ go inside the directory you've just created
3)

Code:

libtoolize
aclocal
autoheader
automake --add-missing
./configure --prefix=/usr/

That's to configure the source to be installed
4) make The classic command to compile the sources
5) sudo make install to copy binaries into /usr/...

And same operations with graphic-lcd and/or lcd

Good help and I hope that this thread helped you

malikcpp thanks to the help of kundfl ...

I've an assembler programm :

Code:

	list	p=16f84
	radix	hex

STATUS	equ	0x03
PORTA	equ	0x05
PORTB	equ	0x06
TRISA	equ	0x85
TRISB	equ	0x86

	org	0x000

	bsf	STATUS,5
	movlw	0x00
	movwf	TRISA
	bcf	STATUS,5

start	movlw	0xAA
	movwf	PORTA
	goto	start

	end

And when I try to simulate it with this command :

Code:

gpsim -pp16f84 test.asm

I got when trying to open simulations windows an error, i dont know if its the same for each window but no window works :

Code:

*** glibc detected *** gpsim: realloc(): invalid pointer: 0x01216c4e ***

Any suggest ?

I've finded for another programm I found this pic 16F84 emulator

But after compiling and trying to emule the same programm i've this message

Code:

*** stack smashing detected ***: ./f84 terminated

If anybody knows a stable emulator for 16F84 PICS on Ubuntu or Linux in general, i'll very pleased to learn more about it.

Best Regards, malikcpp.

But I know nothing about, how well it works ..

malikcpp · 11-08-2009, 02:27 AM

Thank you again knudfl, but it's a really rudimentary programm in console mode ... but it's working well. It's better than nothing

thank you
