GUI in Linux

Hi, I have compiled OpenSees in Linux with Graphics enabled ("Graphics=UsingOpenGL"), but when I tried to run the "strain.tcl" from the "SCRIPTS" directory, I got an error saying OpenSees doesn't know the command "wm".

I remember during OpenSees Day 2006, we had to use OpenSeesTK.exe instead when we compiled using Visual C++. Is there something like that for Linux?

Thanks in advance.

To answer my own question, and maybe give other some pointers. When I look into the make file (named "Makefile"), I see that there is a branch "OpenSeesTk". And when I compile with the command

Code: Select all

make OpenSeesTk

I get a new binary that can run the TK commands with the GUI stuffs.

However, that binary said it is only version 1.7.1, which is strange because if I use the command

Code: Select all

make all

I would get version 1.7.3. The source files I got are from CVS on 9/25/2006.

you wre obtaining 1.7.3, the tkMain.cpp still was using the old version number.
i have made the fix and the cvs repository has been updated.
