gnupic: Thread: troubles in compiling gpsim

Hi

I've tried to compile gpsim 0.20.0... :-(. It refuses to "make all".
I've installed gtk+extra0.99.9 and eXdbm0.1.0b2 without problem. Here's
what I get :

k6:/usr/local/src/gpsim-0.20.0# ./configure

...............
...............

gpsim-0.20.0 is now configured for 

  Source directory:     .
  Installation prefix:  /usr/local
  C compiler:           gcc  -g -O2
  C++ compiler:         c++  -g -O2

Line 273 in scan.cc looks like this:
static void yy_fatal_error YY_PROTO(( yyconst char msg[] ));

If someone can see what's wrong. MPLAB is not so bad, but I'm sure I'll
prefer gpsim :-)

Thanks

Vincent,

There have been changes in the readline library that have broken gpsim. Here's
what I suggest you do:

Get and install the latest version of gtk+extra:

http://gtkextra.sourceforge.net/

It's up to version 0.99.15. (I'm using 0.99.14).

Get the latest "development" version of gpsim:

http://www.dattalo.com/gnupic/gpsim-0.20.9

I only it call it a "development" version because I haven't taken the time to
make a formal release (even though I've promised to do so at least two times in
the recent past...)

The version of eXdbm should be just fine.

--------------
The latest version of gpsim fixes API incompatibilities that have cropped up in
the readline and gtkextra libraries. I have not tried to use this latest version
of gpsim with an old readline library and I do not at what point the readline
library became incompatible (but I suspect it was the 4.0 release).

Please try this out and let me know if you have any more troubles installing.

Regards,
Scott

It's done.

I still have. First of all, I have libreadline 4.1-19 installed.
My problem now is a missing include (and I don't know which lib it's
from):

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/gpsim-0.20.9/gpsim'
c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/lib/glib/include
-I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include    -g -O2 -c main.cc
main.cc:49: popt.h: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type
make[2]: *** [main.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gpsim-0.20.9/gpsim'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gpsim-0.20.9'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

Everything seemed good before that. Some warnings but nothing really
serious. Could it be OK if I --disable-gui?
I have another question. I'd like to use gpsim for a 16F876.You say
16F874/877 are not fully supported. What is missing, how can I help ( if
I have time, courage and almost knowledge)(and almost courage...)?

Thanks again.

Okay, you're almost there! You need to install the popt library.
Go to rpmfind.net and search for popt. I see 159 hits:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=popt

Choose the one most appropriate for your distribution. I think this will do it:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/rpm.org//rpm/test-4.0.3//popt-1.6.3-0.6.i386.html

Download and install this and tell me what happens.

The popt library is responsible for parsing command line arguments.

I also have the 16F873.

In general, the easiest way to add a new processor is to find the one that most
closely matches and inherit from it. (This may be a recursive process :). Once
you've done this then the unique features that distinguish your new processor
from the others can be added. Almost every PIC peripheral is supported in gpsim,
so adding a new processor is matter of choosing the appropriate peripherals.

I'd suggest looking at src/p16f87x.cc and src/p16f87x.h to see how the 16f87x
processors are created.

For example, the '874 inherits from the '16C74 and adds eeprom support:

class P16F874 : public P16C74
{
 public:
  ADRES  adresl;

  virtual void set_out_of_range_pm(int address, int value);

  virtual PROCESSOR_TYPE isa(void){return _P16F874_;};
  virtual unsigned int program_memory_size(void) const { return 0x1000; };
  virtual void create_symbols(void);
  void create_sfr_map(void);
  void create(void);
  virtual unsigned int register_memory_size () const { return 0x200;};

  virtual unsigned int eeprom_get_size(void) {return eeprom_size;};
  virtual unsigned int eeprom_get_value(unsigned int address) ;
  virtual void eeprom_put_value(unsigned int value,
				unsigned int address);
  virtual file_register *eeprom_get_register(unsigned int address);

  P16F874(void);
  static pic_processor *construct(void);
};
