jbr - I have been trying to compile the tcom extensions with no success.
It should be understood that I have little or no experience on Windows.
I started by checking out the source from a git repository here https://github.com/pukkaone/tcom.git . I installed ActiveTcl, CMake and Visual C++ 2008 as instructed by the BUILD_INSTRUCTIONS.md. When trying to build the project created by cmake, the git sources seem to be missing "version.h" and "buildNumber.h". I stole these files from the 3.9 zip file on Chin Huang's site. I had to add an include directive to the *.rc files for "buildNumber.h". The project then builds without erros but the package does not work. A test script hangs at "package require tcom". Also, the dll files are very large and not comparable to the distributed binaries.
