I'm on a pretty complete slackware-13.37 box (32 bit) and have this error compiling drawtiming. It's pretty undemanding in dependencies. This has the vague ring of some class of a programming syntax error. Some sort of a demarkation dispute. Can anyone suggest how to proceed?

strcasecmp() is declared in the cstring header, so the file timing.cc needs to have

Code:

#include <cstring>

at the top (before the line "using namespace std;").

Yep, thanks, that got me over that hurdle.

I take back what I said about it being undemanding in dependencies. I moved on to one of the longest tailspins I have seen in compiling as it complained for the lack of libjasper, libIlmThread, libHalf, and libTex and then announced function by function what wasn't there. It seemed I installed ImageMagick without all it's dependencies. I'll thank you once again and go off and sort that lot out.

Is that still for drawtiming? The dependencies should all be present in 13.37, as I managed to build it without problems (after fixing the above, of course).

Yeah, they were all in Slackware-13.37. Apparently I managed to install ImageMagick (and rarely use it) and did not install ilmbase or summat, so the tailspin had a number of libs which were missing dependencies of ImageMagick, libjasper, libTex, libHalf & friends.

Drawtimings is fairly good. For the electronics nerds out there, it does have dependency tracking but lacks logical operators - (N)AND, (N)OR, EXOR, & NOT, which would make it really powerful.

I'm designing with a State Machine approach, and dragging my designing skills (optimized for 1980s stuff) into the 21st century. I feel at times like Rip van Winkle with a chronic case of future shock :-).

Hey Nylex:

If you are using drawtiming for drawing (I presume electronic) timings, what are you using for drawing flow charts, asm charts etc??

Nylex · 11-18-2011, 11:11 AM

I don't use it. I only downloaded it to try and build it to help with your problem!

business_kid · 11-19-2011, 03:24 AM

Well, thank you kindly for taking the trouble!

Nylex · 11-19-2011, 08:19 AM

No problem. It wasn't that much effort and I was curious about the error message anyway

Fwiw, I am using drawtiming now for a little bit. It lacks a method of displaying propogation. There's some examples of how to do it, but the minimum time segment is one clock tick. Apart from that it's excellent.

I settled on Dia for flowcharts, and it's reasonable. I have to fight with it about centring all text (= half the flowchart boxes are unavailable) but otherwise you can do stuff. I attach two small and less than brilliant output samples.
