digitalmars.D.learn - tkd - basic compilation problem

reply "Paul" <paul example.com> writes:
I downloaded the archive from 
https://github.com/nomad-software/tkd and files are same as in

example from the github page:

tkd/interpreter/tcl.d(16): Error: module tcl is in file 
'tcltk/tcl.d' which cannot be read
import path[0] = /usr/include/dmd/phobos
import path[1] = /usr/include/dmd/druntime/import

As far as I can see there is no tcltk directory - can someone 
tell me where I'm going wrong or if something is missing?

TIA

AFAICS tkd requires too additional libraries (bindings): tcltk 
and x11. Its easiest to
use DUB for building, it will download all required dependencies 
and pass the correct import paths to the compiler. The following 
works for me:

dub.json:
     {
         "name": "tkd-test-app",
         "dependencies": {
             "tkd": "~>1.1.4"
         }
     }

source/app.d:
     (the example program)

Running "dub" successfully builds and executes the example 
program.

Added info: I wanted to avoid using dub so I could manually 
figure out what would be required to distribute the application.

You need to install the libraries. Ex `sudo apt-get install

Hmmm, I have libtcl8.6 and libtk8.6 installed already. The only 
dev packages I see are tclcl and tclap - I can't find any libtk 
-dev package.

I was hoping to keep a tight rein on what was required to be 
installed to simplify deployment but its spiraling out of control 
again LOL.

Someone more familiar with Debian/Ubuntu than me may be able to 
help you here, sorry.

The -dev packages are only required during development 
(specifically at link time), the resulting binary only needs the 
normal packages installed.

Thanks Marc, I found the required packages... it threw me because 
they don't have any version number in the repo ... and the 
example works just fine now.

If you are in Debian, Ubuntu, Linuxmint, etc, you can use the d-apt repository:

http://d-apt.sourceforge.net/

There are deb packages for tkd:

$ sudo apt-get install libtkd-dev libtkd-doc

You can compile the example application included on libtkd-doc deb package to
test if "tkd" is properly installed on your system:

For shared linking against libphobos2.so and libtkd.so:
$ dmd `pkg-config --cflags --libs tkd` -J/usr/share/libtkd-doc/example/media/
/usr/share/libtkd-doc/example/example.d

For static linking against libphobos2.a and libtkd.a:
$ dmd `pkg-config --cflags --libs tkd-static`
-J/usr/share/libtkd-doc/example/media/ /usr/share/libtkd-doc/example/example.d

Best regards,
Jordi

Thank you Jordi, I've got everything installed ok now but those

I read that before posting, specifically the parts that say:

"Tkd requires version 8.6 (or greater) of the Tcl/Tk libraries 
installed. A small exception is when creating a self-contained 
installation on Windows. See details below. Tcl/Tk itself 
requires the x11 libraries installed on Linux only."

and

"On Linux and Mac OSX things are a little easier as both 
operating systems have Tcl/Tk installed by default. If however 
they do not have the latest version, the libraries can be updated 
via their respective package managers. The linked libraries are 
libtcl and libtk."

I can't see how they answer the questions I've asked (which 
admittedly are more related to the distro that D per se).

The following text is taken from:
https://github.com/nomad-software/tkd#source-code

Tkd requires other D source libraries to correctly use and link 
against pre-existing C libraries. The source dependencies are as 
follows:

* https://github.com/nomad-software/tcltk
* https://github.com/nomad-software/x11

Dub handles these automatically and during a build acquires them. 
While building, the tcltk repository is configured to link 
against the required Tcl/Tk libraries, hence they need to be 
installed for the application to function.
