[Radiance-general] NRL radiance-5.0.a.6-Darwin.dmg trad/tcl incomplete installation

[Guglielmetti, Robert]

Cross-posting (and we should move the discussion to) dev...

Thanks Terrance! Looks like I have some more files to include in the CMake files, so our packages work correctly, thanks for the catches. As for item (1), it seems like the right move there is to have Greg change the shebang line to call "wish", and place the onus on the users to have a symlink for wish that points to whatever they have on their systems.

Let's sort it out on dev when we have time. Thanks again for the heads up.

Must report that "trad" does not run as installed by the radiance-5.0.a.6-Darwin.dmg OSX installer.

Issues:
1. $ -bash: /usr/local/radiance/bin/trad: /usr/local/bin/wish8.0: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

    Fixed by sudo vi /usr/local/radiance/bin/trad and change the first line to "#!/usr/local/bin/wish8.5" as that is what is installed on my system.
2. Error in startup script: invalid command name "helplink"
    while executing
"helplink .mess trad trad messages"
    (file "/usr/local/radiance/bin/trad" line 104)
    Fixed by:
    a) downloading the source code (https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases)
    b) create folder  with " sudo mkdir /usr/local/radiance/lib/tcl"
    c) copy files from the source tree to the new folder
        cd /usr/local/radiance/lib/tcl
        sudo cp ~/Desktop/Radiance-5.0.a.6/src/util/*.tcl .
        sudo cp ~/Desktop/Radiance-5.0.a.6/src/util/*.hlp .
        sudo cp ~/Desktop/Radiance-5.0.a.6/src/util/*.icon .
        sudo cp ~/Desktop/Radiance-5.0.a.6/src/util/tcl* .
        This put the following file in the new folder:
            do_action.tcl       do_results.tcl    do_zone.tcl    gethelp.tcl    trad.hlp
            do_file.tcl            do_scene.tcl     file.hlp           help.hlp        trad.icon
            do_options.tcl     do_views.tcl      getfile.tcl       tclIndex        util.tcl
    d) sudo vi /usr/local/radiance/bin/trad
        change "/usr/local/radiance/bin/trad" to "set radlib /usr/local/radiance/lib/tcl"
