Arch Linux User Repository

Hello @SpacingBat3, I don't have the package installed and am not actively looking into it. I will disown both ns and nam packages, so you can work on them. Thank you for doing this work.

@Greenscreen23 do you still maintain it? So far I'm aware it needs way more patches to work on modern build env:

https://udd.debian.org/patches.cgi?src=nam&version=1.15-11

This is what Debian folks are doing. Makes sense since I'm getting errors with pointer casts as well and I don't see patches for it.

I would like to adopt it as I'm working on bringing NS-2/NS-3 into Arch ecosystem in general.

Hello again @Greenscreen23: I will also disown this package due to being unable to do any work on this at the moment.

Hey, I get this error when trying to build nam:

xwd.c: In function ‘ReadColors’:
xwd.c:139:1: error: type of ‘tk’ defaults to ‘int’ [-Wimplicit-int]
  139 | ReadColors(tk,cmap,colors)

This patch fixes it for me:

diff --git a/xwd.c b/xwd.c

Or am I doing something wrong?

Just a temporary solution for /usr/lib/tk8.6/tk.tcl: wrong # args: should be "source fileName" error:

remove -encoding utf-8 from these two files: - /usr/lib/tk8.6/tk.tcl - /usr/lib/tk8.6/ttk/ttk.tcl

nam fails to open, complaining about an unusable tk.tcl file. It seems to be pointing out errors in the provided tk.tcl script present at /usr/lib/tk8.6/tk.tcl.

This probably means that tk wasn't installed properly.
