RE: [Mingw-users] Proposed: Insight/gdb

[Wells, R. K. <ROG...@sa...>]

Thanks for the reply.  I will put together a minimal case but while I am
doing that there may be another clue.  One of my colleagues has used the
same release successfully (in fact he merely copied my installation).  When
I first used it I got messages about not finding itcl.tcl, etc.  I then set
the following environment variables:

ITCL_LIBRARY=d:\"Program Files"\insight\share\itcl3.2
ITK_LIBRARY=d:\"Program Files"\insight\share\itk3.2
TCL_LIBRARY=d:\"Program Files"\insight\share\tcl8.4
TK_LIBRARY=d:\"Program Files"\insight\share\tk8.4

Now the insight GUI comes up but fails when I attempt to step into main().
My colleague who experienced a successful use of insight did not get
prompted about itcl.tcl, set none of the above environment variable, and
debugged his application in the expected way.

Does this mean that his invocation of insight is resolving references to
Tcl/Tk resources fortuitously via previous installed applications that also
installed Tcl/Tk somewhere on his machine?

We have developed a number of Tcl/Tk applications and those of us in the
development community could easily have wildly different environments with
regard to Tcl/Tk installations.  In fact one of our challenges has been
ensuring that our stuff runs regardless of what Tcl/Tk components are
installed on the host.

Thanks again and I will get together a minimal example.

Apologies, meant to reply to this part in the first mail.

The patch is a unified diff of the changes made to Insight CVS in order 
to make this work as a windows native executable. This is only useful if 
you intend to build Insight yourself from the redhat CVS sources.
