[Simulavr-devel] [bug #40586] example/feedback does not work

[Markus Hitter]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #40586 (project simulavr):

Yes, this is what I slowly learn, too. These examples actually work, but it's
not documented and even less intuitive. Intuitiviness is _very_ imprtant these
days, in the RepRap projects I maintain people run away if they don't see some
results within the first 10 minutes of trying. You can add build times on top
of these 10 minutes, but not expect the user to read before trying.

For example, if TCL isn't configured, typing "make" could bail out with
something like: "Built the AVR binary, but you won't be able to run it,
because TCL isn't configured. Try to reconfigure and rebuild simulavr with
passing --enable-tcl to configure."

Another question is, why the iTCL dependency for such a simple piece of code?
:-)
