Version 5 of Expect and Tclkit

Updated 2003-07-28 13:33:59

[Explain how Expect has not been generally available for Tclkit applications (significance of stubs and so on), but there have always been several other ways (some proprietary) to create, for example, single-file executables. In any case, Guido Ostkamp has demonstrated "clean" co-operation between the two [L1 ]. His patch--Steve Landers' "modified files" [L2 ] converted into 'patch' format--is publicly available [L3 ].]

Or, we could point out in the http://expect.sf.net/ release ChangeLog something like:

 2003-02-14  Andreas Kupries  <[email protected]>
  • configure.in: Made expect aware of tcl stubs. Derived from the
  • exp_command.h: patches to expect done by Steve Landers
  • exp_command.c: <[email protected]>. Modifications:
  • exp_main_sub.c No global cmdinfo structures for 'close' and
  • exp_main_exp.c: 'return'. Made this per-interpreter information
  • exp_main_tk.c: as it should be. Using interp assoc data for this.
        NOTE: stubs is not default, but has to be activated via '--enable-stubs'

.

  • configure: Regenerated.
