ActiveTcl installation on Linux

OS: Linux

Hi folks,

I've installed ActiveTcl 852 on my Linux, Fedora 8, through the GUI installer.
It was installed in /opt/ActiveTcl... (default).
The tcl lib got installed in /opt/ActiveTcl../lib and /include

Consequently, I cas unable to compile and link easily my C code with tcl, since gcc could not find the tcl.h file, nore the lib tcl. I've had to add manually links in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib.

This is strange to me. I thought that the ActiveState installer would / should have added such links for me, so that the tcl lib is found immediatly by the compiler.

Compatibility of a linux ix86 executable under 64bits systems ?

OS: Linux

Hi,
Thanks to the TDK, I was able to release a Tcl-based software
from a Windows laptop and to create executables for Windows, Linux, Mac
(and also HP, Solaris and AIX, but no user asked for these platforms).
That was in March 2008.
I had recently several users who asked for Linux 64 bits releases
of my software.
Unfortunately, when I did the release, only 32 bits linux release of the
AS Tcl was available for free, and 64 bits releases was available only
in the "Enterprise" edition : I do not have it.
Can the linux 32 bits linux executable run on linux 64 bits systems ?

libcpp5 version? RHEL4 help?

OS: Linux

Any possibility of getting a libcpp5 version of Open Komodo for Linux?

I'm using RHEL4 which apparently needs to have a libcpp5 version to use. The commercial version has a libcpp5 version which works but I don't need the commercial features, not to mention my work won't let me spend that much for a txt editor.

Anyways, if there is anyway I can get OpenKomodo working on a RHEL4 system please let me know.

Thanks,

Keith

Rsyncing for fun and profit

OS: OS X Linux

There doesn't seem to be a nice, standalone work-alike of rsync for Windows users ( please post in the comments if you know of one! ) but that doesn't stop me from using rsync a lot on OS X and Linux, for all sorts of crazy things. Here's an example of a Macro I use when developing Komodo extensions that uses rsync.

Creating custom editor tab

OS: Linux

Hello. I'd like my extension to be able to create a new document tab for editing C code, but this code will be processed by my extension and not written to a file. In addition I would like a few extra GUI elements in the page area just above the document itself, mostly for displaying info such as function details and parameters. The editor in the tab needs to be komodo's editor so that all komodo's editing functionality is still there, so not just a plain xul textarea.

Context menu

OS: Linux

Hello. I'm trying to write an extension which contains a xul tree, and I want to implement a right-click context menu on the tree. I tried using the mozilla method described here:

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XUL:PopupGuide:ContextMenus
http://www.mozilla.org/xpfe/xptoolkit/popups.html

But it doesn't work. I tried assigning the popup to all manner of elements in my overlay and no matter how I click no menu appears.

My popup code is:

<popupset>
 <menupopup id="kompile_component_popup">
   <menuitem label="New component..."/>

Building active perl on Linux/s390

OS: Linux

Hi,
I'd like to build active perl AP817 on Linux/s390.

I have the need to build it in a way that the perl executable will have these flags

perl -V:config_args

perl - starting debugger for perl program called from system()

OS: Linux

I have a perl program that I have running komodo. This program calls another perl program using the perl system("cmd"). I would like to be able to set a breakpoint or step into the perl program called by system(). Is this possible. I'm willing to chg the calling, called or how the perl is called if I need to. But in normal runs, I need to be able to use system or to start the subjob up using lsf bsub commands from a system call.

Here's the code snippet:
system("mem_which $command");
#system("perl -d /work/bin/mem_which $command"); #attempted variation

Komodo Edit 4.2.1 upgrade to 4.3 (Linux libcpp5)

OS: Linux | Product: Komodo | tags: autoupdate libcpp5 libstdc++ linux update
Question: 

Why won't Komodo Edit 4.2.1 upgrade to version 4.3?

Answer: 

We are no longer publishing updates for the Komodo Edit libstdc++5 builds. If you find Komodo Edit is not updating, check under "Help|About Komodo" for the following build information:

Komodo Edit, version 4.2.1, build 283000, platform linux-libcpp5-x86.
Built on Tue Nov 13 14:03:05 2007.

Check this FAQ to see if you can run the libcpp6 build instead:

If you are unable to use this build, and would still like to upgrade to get the newest features, consider building Komodo Edit from the Open Komodo repository:
