TASH Installation Procedures
This file describes how to get and install TASH.
- Get TASH via anonymous ftp.
- Uncompress and extract it from the tar archive, e.g.: gzcat
tash7.6.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
- Modify the macros in the file, "Makefile.common"
in the main directory to reference the correct location
of your local Tcl/Tk C libraries, test directories, and X
library. The macros to be customized are TCL_LIB, TCL_TEST, TK_LIB, TK_TEST,
and X11_LIB.
- Type "make" in the main
directory. This executes a make in each of three
subdirectories:
- src contains the Ada/Tcl interface, the Tcl Ada
Shell program (tash) and the Tcl Windowing Shell
program (twash),
- demos contains several demo programs, including freq
and timer,
- and tests contains several test programs.
- Test that the system was correctly built by executing
"make test."
- Try the freq demo by executing "make
test" in the demos directory.
To compare the execution time of Tcl versus Ada freq, execute
"make time."
- Also, try the timer demo by executing
"timer" in the demos directory.
This program is adapted from the timer demo program provided
in the Tk distribution.
