#4673 compiling errors in Linux using tclpro wrapper

[Alex_Medina]

I am trying to compile an application using tlcpro wrapper tcl 8.4.19
/usr/local/ActiveTcl/lib/libwrapper1.4.a

Note: I can successfully compile my application with Tcl 8.4.7 but not for 8.4.19.
*DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW TO GET AROUND THESE PROBLEMS?

I can compile tcl without 8.4.19 problems:
./configure --prefix=${MYDIR}/tcl/ --disable-shared --enable-threads

I also try with ctype hack in compat build:
-Wl,./tcl/compat/ctype.o

Check out my build errors:

I get the same results with these compilers:
- gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-47)
- 2.96

Looks like a problem in something (tbcload) that isn't part of Tcl itself. Unless you can make a convincing case for why this is something we should address, it's simply Not Our Problem.

You might contemplate reporting to ActiveState or to the tclpro project.
