Q: When trying to build, I get the error message: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltcl". How do I correct that problem?
First, verify that you have tcl and tcl dev installed on your system. Have them installed if they are not.
For Ubuntu-like systems:
apt-get install tcl-dev
For Centos/Fedora-like systems:
yum/dnf install tcl-devel
The "Makefile" provided by Verific has "-ltcl" option. The linker will look for the file /usr/lib/libtcl.so (for 32-bit build) or /usr/lib64/libtcl.so (for 64-bit build).
You can either:
1. In /usr/lib (or in /usr/lib64 for 64-bit build), make soft link libtcl.so pointing to your_lib_tcl.so and (for static build) libtcl.a to your_lib_tcl_.a. For example:
[lib64]$ pwd /usr/lib64 [lib64]$ ls -l *tcl* -rw-r----- 1 root root 2107226 Nov 29 2016 libtcl8.5.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1194938 Nov 29 2016 libtcl8.5.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Nov 29 2016 libtcl.a -> libtcl8.5.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Nov 29 2016 libtcl.so -> libtcl8.5.so [lib64]$
or:
2. In the Makefile, replace "-ltcl" with "-L /path/to/your/tcl/library -ltclX.y" where X is the major version and y is the minor. Depending on your PATH variable you may also need to replace the #include <tcl.h> in commands/*.cpp, tclmain/TclMain.cpp (and tclmain/swig.i if it exists) with #include "/path/to/your/tcl/headers/tcl.h"
