Above link to tclmake is now dead. Try http://www.tmk-site.org/ which claims similar function but does not credit the above author.

escargo 2 Aug 2005 - That site now points to http://tmk.sourceforge.net/ as the projects home.

RLH 2005-08-02: I see the Windows version in not working at this time. Is there another utility that does this for Windows?

escargo - If you mean by "does this," functions like the Unix make command, then there are many possibilities. You could use Cygwin, which includes the GNU make command (sometimes called gmake to distinguish it from other make clones). There is a Windows port[L1 ] as part of a larger set of GNU tools ported to native Windows. Open Office has some tools that includes a tool named dmake[L2 ].

You should also look at this wiki page, the make command and various alternatives, for alternatives, including some in Tcl (bras, smake, and svmk), which should therefore be portable across systems and therefore work on Windows as well.

Sorry about that, the link is now corrected. I haven't used this in yonks, but I suppose the code might be useful for something. -- JohnR
