Building tclkit 8.5.1 on Windows


How to build tclkit on Windows XP using Tcl/Tk 8.5.1
----------------------------------------------------

Or how a failed to do that...

1. Used genkit to get all sources (on mac). Replaced tcl85 and tk85
with
   released 8.5.1 sources.

2. Got http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/tars/msvc6-85.tar.gz and imported
it
   into VC++7.

3. Changed path to src/tcl/win/tclAppInit.c to src/tcl85/win/
tclAppInit.c

4. Changed path to src/tk/win/winMain.c to src/tk85/win/winMain.c

5. Removed src/tcl85/compat/strtoll.c and strtoull.c from project.

6. Added inline=__inline to the defines, both Debug & Release

7. Added ws2_32.lib to Additional Dependencies, both Debug & Release

8. Built Release target, moved to unix (mac),
   cat kit.exe runtime85.kit > tclkit.exe

But something goes really wrong with the initializations. When I

Dear list,

I was finally able to figure out what went wrong. It was a missing
-DTK_LOCAL_APPINIT=TclKit_AppInit
for ..\src\tk\win\winMain.c in the kit project. Similar for the kitsh project.
Perhaps Pat's build system is more robust than this one. Will try it...

To conclude:

Minor update:

10. Make the dde and registry package numbers match in kitInit.c
    "package ifneeded dde 1.3.2 {load {} dde}\n"
    "package ifneeded registry 1.2.1 {load {} registry}\n"

I have put the complete VC++7 projects here:
http://coccinella.sourceforge.net/tclkits/msvc7-85.zip
with tclkit.exe included.

Similar changes were also needed with the VC++6 project.
Find it all here:
http://coccinella.sourceforge.net/tclkits/msvc6-85.zip

With my log here: http://coccinella.sourceforge.net/tclkits/msvc7-85howto.txt

This issue has been resolved in the kitgen builds by building the
runtime.kit file as part of the build process and setting the package
index files to the correct versions of these extensions by asking them
as we create the vfs tree.
