We can generate binaries here but I am having some of my colleagues do
the testing and preparation of the binaries. However, they will not have
time until next week.

Note that the binaries won't include the postgres stuff since it failed
to compile the last time I tried it on SGI and I haven't had time to fix
it yet. I will try to fix it before the final release but sorry, no
guarantees.

We can generate binaries here but I am having some of my colleagues do

Thanks for building these binaries.

Note that the binaries won't include the postgres stuff since it failed
to compile the last time I tried it on SGI and I haven't had time to fix
it yet. I will try to fix it before the final release but sorry, no
guarantees.

We hope the best. Perhaps you could post the compile error?

I finaly found time to start compiling GRASS 5.0. on my HP-UX and got the
following
message

configure: warning: /opt/tk-8.2/include: invalid host type
configure: warning: /opt/tk-8.2/lib: invalid host type
configure: error: can only configure for one host and one target at a time

I call configure with the following command :

./configure --prefix=/opt/grass5 --bindir=/opt/grass5/bin --with-SYSV \
        --with-includes=/opt/libpng/include \
        --with-libs=/opt/libpng/lib \
        --with-jpeg-includes=/opt/jpeg-6/include \
        --with-jpeg-libs=/opt/jpeg-6/lib \
        --with-tiff-includes=/opt/tiff-3.5/include \
        --with-tiff-libs=/opt/tiff-3.5/lib \
        --with-tcltk-includes=/opt/tcl-8.2/include /opt/tk-8.2/include \
        --with-tcltk-libs=/opt/tcl-8.2/lib /opt/tk-8.2/lib \
        --with-zlib-includes=/opt/zlib/include \
        --with-zlib-libs=/opt/zlib/lib \
        --without-postgresql

The problem seem to come because I put two DIR with the --with statement.
If only put one DIR, ./configure do not complaint but report that it
cannot find tk files. The problem comes from the fact that tcl and tk
are installed in two different directories on HP.

I can trick my system but it would be better to found a general solution.

THANKS

I don't think that autoconf likes multiple directories for standard
--with-xxx-includes/libs settings. I think the "proper" thing
would be to use separate --with-tcl=/path/to/tclConfig.sh and
--with-tk=/path/to/tkConfig.sh options. The xxxConfig.sh scripts
set up the required include directories, libraries, linker flags,
etc. The autoconf script would source the xxxConfig.sh script,
and substitute for the defined variables in the appropriate .in
files. I've attached a tcl.m4 autoconf macro file that deals
with --with-tcl and --with-tk options.

When I ran into problems like these, I used to just fix the
inevitable makefile problems as i found them.

Maybe you should put quotes around multiple DIR's so the shell doesn't
separate them, like:
  --with-tcltk-includes="/opt/tcl-8.2/include /opt/tk-8.2/include"

Otherwise they must be interpreted as an argument to configure for a
particular host type.
