Init - Library - Autoload Group: = 8.4a3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 6 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Don Porter (dgp) Summary: Add local initialization script for Tcl. Initial Comment: OriginalBugID: 5998 RFE Version: 8.1.1 SubmitDate: '2000-07-10' LastModified: '2000-10-25' Severity: LOW Status: UnAssn Submitter: techsupp OS: BSD OSVersion: BSD/OS 4.0.1 Machine: x86 pc architecture FixedDate: '2000-10-25' ClosedDate: '2000-10-25' Name: Robert Hare Extensions: BerkeleyDB.3.0, mpexpr1.0 DesiredBehavior: It would be nice to have the following code added to the init.tcl script: # Perform any local initialization. if {[file exists [file join [info library] init-local.tcl]]} { source [file join [info library] init-local.tcl] } This allows customized local initializations to be performed. In our case we want to add entries to the default auto_path so that packages we have installed can be found without having to tweak on the auto_path in every program.

More important as most localization stuff gets put into Tcl. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Don Porter (dgp) Date: 2001-07-21 11:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80530 The referenced c.l.t thread is now available at: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&safe=off&th=e11c0f97f99942,7&seekm=8kckfn%247jg%241%40bob.news.rcn.net I'm not sure which message Donal wanted to point to in particular. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Don Porter (dgp) Date: 2001-01-31 10:19 Message: Registered patch as #103526 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Donal K.

Fellows (dkf) Date: 2001-01-25 02:10 Message: I like this idea, though I'm not too sure what the best location for such an initialization script is (apart from probably being platform-dependent.) What do other systems that have to deal with this problem do? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=360894&aid=219375&group_id=10894 |
