Mash for Linux - Alternative Notes

OK, here's how I did it. 

1) Select a directory to install all the software 
packages. 

I used elmer.cs:/vid30/mash-1

2) Download all the packages. 

I used:
	tcl8.0.5
	tk8.0.5
	otcl 1.0a5
	tclcl 1.0b6
	gsm 1.0.10
	mash 5.0b2 from apu:/vid15/peterp/mash/mash/mash-1 (I 
		literally tarred all this directory and copied 
		to my machine). 

3) Gunzip and untar everything. My directory composition 
after doing this was:

/vid30/mash-1/gsm/
/vid30/mash-1/otcl/
/vid30/mash-1/tclcl/
/vid30/mash-1/usr/
/vid30/mash-1/mash-1/
/vid30/mash-1/tcl8.0/
/vid30/mash-1/tk8.0/

Note: /vid30/mash-1/usr is the directory where the 
common tcl and tk files go. 

4) Install tcl
> cd tcl8.0/unix
> ./configure --prefix=/vid30/mash-1/usr
> make
> make install

5) Install tk
> cd tk8.0/unix
> ./configure --prefix=/vid30/mash-1/usr 
	--with-tcl=8.0/unix
> make
> make install

6) Here's the first problem. If you list the contents of 
/vid30/mash-1/usr/include you only get tcl.h and tk.h. 
You also need  tclCompile.h, tclInt.h, tclPort.h, 
tclInitScript.h, tclMath.h, and tclRegexp.h. I don't 
know why they aren't there. So you must look for a 
right distribution and copy them to that directory 
(e.g. elmer:/vid30/mash-1/usr/include). 

7) Install otcl
> cd otcl
> ./configure --prefix=/vid30/mash-1/usr 
	--with-tcl=/vid30/mash-1/usr 
	--with-tk=/vid30/mash-1/usr
> make
> make install

8) Install tclcl
> cd tclsl
> ./configure --prefix=/vid30/mash-1/usr 
	--with-tcl=/vid30/mash-1/usr 
	--with-tk=/vid30/mash-1/usr 
	--with-otcl=/vid30/mash-1/usr
> make
> make install

9) Install gsm
> cd gsm
> make
> make install

10) Install mash
> cd /vid30/mash-1/mash-1
Change all instances of "osfcn.h" to "unistd.h" in these 
	files:
  - net/tcpchan.cc
  - ps/ps.cc
  - ps/ps-file.cc
In the apu installation the -ldl was already added
> ./configure --prefix=/vid30/mash-1/usr 
	--with-tcl=/vid30/mash-1/usr 
	--with-tk=/vid30/mash-1/usr 
	--with-otcl=/vid30/mash-1/usr 
	--with-gsm=/vid30/mash-1/gsm 
	--disable-sccvideo 
	--enable-debug 
	--disable-static
> setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /vid30/mash-1/usr/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
> make
> make smash
> make import
> setenv MASH_HOME /vid30/mash-1/mash-1
> make vic
> setenv PATH $MASH_HOME/bin:$PATH

11) Cross your fingers and try vic
/vid30/mash-1/mash-1/bin/vic 224.2.1.1/22334/h261/127/1

And you should see 521 Soda, Larry's office and with 
a little luck Marcia's place.
