Version 29 of SampleExtension

I have two files (one C and one Tcl) that makes a package. The C file is compiled by hand. Now the question is .. how do I add the required autogoo to distribute it? any docs/pointers?

Sampleextension is the answer. (Half the answer. You also need tclconfig .)

The Tcl sample extension implements an extension calculating the Core Secure Hash Algorithm (sha1). It demonstrates a TEA-conformant Tcl extension that includes a C library that can be dynamically loaded. It also illustrates the TEA directory structure and use of Tcl autoconf extensions to to provide configure and make facilities.
