Jacob Levy July 19, 2003: Please report here on your testing of Tcl 8.4.4. It's available by anon CVS now in the sourceforge.net CVS.
To get the source code:
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/tcl login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/tcl co -r core-8-4-4 tcl
Similarly for Tk:
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/tktoolkit login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/tktoolkit co -r core-8-4-4 tk
Then:
% ./configure --prefix=<whereyouwantitinstalled> % make % make test % make install % <any other tests e.g. test your own extensions>
Jacob Levy July 19, 2003: Tested the Tcl side of things on RH 7.3 gcc 2.96, all clean. Cannot run 'make test' on Tk because I have a display-less machine (only ssh-accessible). Tk did build and install cleanly.
TV I make-ed the previous version only, on rh8+, download from web browser, then uncompress and untar:
tar -xzf tcl*gz
and the same for tk. Same as above, but need tcl install first (not just make) before tk, though I guess some environment var could be set. All clean, too. I used a non-superuser account, which wasn't a problem except for standard install places, has to be root.
Try XFree86, the currently cygwin supplied X server for windows, runs smooth enough. Unless you have another reason things can just be ssh, that nicely can give you the wish window on a windows machine, running on linux.
MC 19 July 2003: I'm going to test building Tcl 8.4.4 with all the various permutations of ./configure --options on Debian Linux, RH 6.0, Tru64 and OpenBSD. Here's the Tcl script I'm using to generate a shell script to do all the compiles and create a log with all the configure, compile and test output. (It'll need a few tweaks for Tru64, i.e., cc -V instead of gcc -v, etc.)
