Hi Dan,

Thanks for your tips. I tried your suggested fix but still got the same error. My compiler is gcc 7.2.1.

Petar, thanks for sharing your experience. I will try your method.

Cheers,
Dafang

So, I also faced troubles compiling on ubuntu 17.04 and with gcc 6.3.

Yesterday I finally decided to tackle it so I can run it on my newest desktop, so here is the change log that let to successful build:
https://github.com/pip010/scirun4plus/commit/1b93aaf0e23ae4f0355b92c0631c83d94097a120

As you can see, quite more than the patched offer for this particular err in tcl.

My feeling is that gcc6x compiles in c++11 or up profile by default !?

Maybe isolate as patch? Of course you can simply fetch from my repo of scirun4plus.

I will maintain it till at least this summer. I have a couple of papers in the making that use this version.

Regards,

Petar

4) What compiler version are you using? I found this possible fix by searching the error message, but of course there's no guarantee you won't get more errors compiling later. Since SCIRun on Arch is unsupported by SCI, you can start by following all the requirements listed on http://www.sci.utah.edu/cibc-software/scirun.html; if there are still problems you'll have to resort to the community.

5) Just download Qt 4 and install wherever you want, then point the build to that qmake rather than /usr/bin version. For instance, there is a package available at https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/qt4/.

Hi,

I got errors when building SCIRun v4.x on Linux Arch. I tried several 4.x versions, as well as SCIRun linux and source packages, but all returned the same error shown below. The error seems to have do with tcl/tk. 

Also I got errors when building SCIRun v5. It seems that SCIRun requires Qt 4 whereas my computer is using Qt 5.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Cheers,
Dafang
