u gave the link for Spin. i have done exactly like this website. but after installing when i run spin -V it said it doesnot find the command spin.
I have seen in a document that FeaVer/modex have a GUI version. do u know anything about it?

Re: how to install FeaVer/modex and spin in ubuntu or windows?

let's first make sure spin works
where did you install it?
if you copied it to /usr/local/bin/spin it should definitely work for you

Re: how to install FeaVer/modex and spin in ubuntu or windows?

The only thing that should be installed in /usr/local/bin/ is the executable 'spin' command itself, not the entire distribution directory.
(i.e., you compile spin somewhere else and just copy 'spin' itself into this directory).
Please ask a system administrator for your system for help if this looks mysterious.

Re: how to install FeaVer/modex and spin in ubuntu or windows?

In the Doc directory of the Feaver/Modex distribution you will find a very detailed manual that explains all the options and the contents of the .prx file
but again, i would warn agains attempting to use modex before you know how to use spin really well.  you're very unlikely to succeed if you take this route.
even for advanced and very experienced spin users, the use of modex can be challening....

Re: how to install FeaVer/modex and spin in ubuntu or windows?

re 1: you should not have to edit the makefile
re 2: it looks like you do not have the 'make' command installed -- you can download it from cygwin
also make sure that you have the complete gcc tool suite installed so that you can compile c programs

Re: how to install FeaVer/modex and spin in ubuntu or windows?

I just want to share this;

To run iSpin you'll need Tcl/Tk. Tcl/Tk was written by John Ousterhout ([email protected]) and is public domain. It can be obtained (for PCs or Unix) from cygwin, or from: [url]http://www.tcl.tk[/url]/ or also (a more recent extension): [url]http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActiveTcl/[/url]
More details can be found in netnews-group: comp.lang.tcl

maybe this will also help you, new extensions added smile)
