Porting SlackBuild of Scilab from Slackware 12 to Slackware64 13
Hi Forum
I have been trying to create a pkg of Scilab from Slackware 12 in Slackware64 13... But the slackbuild abotrs with an error about the version of Tcl... ... So far I have not tinkered with the Tcl version of Slackware... thing is "as installed"... ............................. checking for PVM architecture... UNKNOWN configure: WARNING: PVM unable to find architecture: I will not use PVM checking for main in -ldl... yes checking for header file tcl.h... found in /usr/include checking if tcl is version 8.4 or later... (8.5) yes checking for tcl library tcl8.5... configure: error: header file tcl.h has been found for 8.4* but no corresponding tcl library (ie libtcl8.4.so) I suppose one could make some sort of hackerish trick like ln -s /../../libtcl8.4.so /../../libtcl8.5.so just to see it it works... ...but this is a bad principle... messing around with system libs... So, does anybody have any suggestion... ...I managed to set the python of Slackware64 13 to 2.5 using a slackbuild of a previous version... It did not overwrote anything bcause it installs to a separate source tree... only thing changed is a symlink... Can I ( Do i Really Need to ) do this with tcl in order to have scilab working...? BRGDS Alex |
I have the impression there is some confusion in your Tcl installation.
(or maybe in the SciLab configure macros). 1) The script detects Tcl version 8.5, 2) but it is still looking for libraries of version 8.4x Maybe, when you installed the 64 version you parcially install Tcl (or still have some older header files around? Check if you have any old libtcl8.4* left on your machine. I compiled Scilab recently on a clean Slackware64 system, and I had no problems. John |
Hi Johncc330
I won´t be with my Slackware lappy until tonite... but I will check on this... Thx But Just tell me, did you make any update...? Or are you using Slackware64 13 install "as is"...? |
Do you have compatibility libraries installed? That may be the problem.
I suggest reinstalling tcl just in case, and I guess that you have a old tcl package that you haven't uninstalled. If that doesn't work, download a new version of scilab and compile it with src2pkg. I can compile 5.1.1 on a 32 bit system if you like. If that won't do, I'll compile a 64 bit one. |
Hi Ivsthi
Thkx for yr help... :-) As soon as I get back home, I'll put my hands on the job... :-) BRGDS Alex |
Try this SlackBuild - it should work on 64bit as far as I can see.

I just left it for the time being... Have you managed to build it 64...? awesome... :-D BRGDS Alex |
I assume you have src2pkg installed. Just type this
Code:
cd /tmp; src2pkg -I http://www.scilab.org/download/5.1.1/scilab-5.1.1-src.tar.gzEdit: try using the source of an older version then. |
Hi @Alien Bob, @Ivshi
I will try this as soon as I get back home... :-) THX a lot ppl, I will post back the results tomorrow... Once again thanks PPL... |
There is a 'Suitesparse' slackbuild here
http://www.slacky.eu/aadm/pkgs/index...tesparse&ver=6 http://repository.slacky.eu/slackwar...rse.SlackBuild ... also providing the Umfpack libraries etc. etc. |

Hi @Ivshti,@knudfl,@Alien Bob
@ Ivshti : So.... I grabbed the tarball of Scilab... ( do not have net access at home, and I have 2 lappies, one of them has OpenFOAM installed which i need for my wrk... the Other has Slackware, where I am trying to build my Engineering apps, did no build openFoam yet, so i leave it at home untill I can have everything that i need, built... ) and src2pkg it, it complained about ant from apache, so ... will grab it today, and install it... and try again... may also grab caml from Inria... in case Scilab build complains about that too... more news tomorrow... I am two lazy to bring two lappies along... :-) @ knudfl : Great... :-) that slackbuild worked allright... Will try again tonite with the most recent version of SuiteSparse @ Alien Bob : I will try your SBuild tonite... ...ppl... a guy comes home exhausted after a 2 hour training of Kyokushin Kai karate, or Kenjutsu... ( depends on the day of the week...) after a hard day of work aroud CAD applications, simulation stuff.. waiting for iterations after iterations in front of a workstation screen... Sometimes I feel that 24 hrs are just not enough... :-) Thanks a lot ppl.... BRGDS Alex |
Hi Ivshti

No Dependency or Requirements information found. Notice - Showing short options in a separate xterm. bash-3.1# back to ./conf make... It complained about missing dependencies like Java flexdock, so I grabbed and untared Scilab pre-requirements ( it untars to the same folder as Scilab... ) and ran conf --help; based on output I decided to exclude pvm, matio, and ocaml... ran conf, and make... ...build aborted due to the fact that a Scicos ( this is a "must have" for me... :-( ) toolbox would not find the get_time function, so I make clean, configure again --without-scicos... ......................................... make ............... trackinstall ................... This created a package in /tmp which I installed... Tried to run some of the demos... But the graphical window displays ( they pop up allright ) with Transfer function values outputs, and graphs, remain white... although the simulation completes alright... #1) How can I build Scicos... ( what must I do so that building of Scicos finds get_time...) ? #2) What must I do to enable graphical displays...? More news 2morrow about Scilab 4.1.2 BRGDS Alex |

BRGDS Alex Strangest thing is that Tcl 8.5 is allowed to build Scilab, or ScicosLab... Tcl 8.5 is the default of Slackware 64 13... never tikered with that... so, how come tcl.h is for 8.4... ??? |

About python : More than one version is OK :
.. but only one /usr/bin/python ..... About tcl : Two or more "runtime" is OK. .. but only one /usr/bin/tclsh ( link ) .. and of course one /usr/lib/libtcl.so 'tcl-8.4.18' ( like the slack 12.1 version ) provides /usr/include/tcl.h /usr/bin/tclsh8.4 'tcl-8.5.7' in Slackware 13 provides /usr/include/tcl.h , other Linux's : /usr/include/tcl8.5/tcl.h .. and 'tcl-8.5.7' provides /usr/bin/tclsh8.5 ..... ..... ScicosLab : the 'git clone' is supposed to be the latest bug fixed version. ScicosLab requires /usr/bin/g77 , and compiles with no errors using either tcl-8.4.x or tcl-8.5.7 ..... |
