Re: [TCLCORE] Tcl/Tk 8.6a1 RELEASED

[Rene Z. <r.z...@fr...>]

Hi,

my first try to build kit executables with the new 8.6a1 release failed 
because of:

  undefined reference to `Tcl_InitStubs'
  undefined reference to `tclStubsPtr'

Then I found the following in the release notes:

    * C code compiled with USE_TCL_STUBS now must be linked against a
      stub library.  The Tcl shared library no longer exports variables
      used in the stub interface.  Analogous changes also made to Tk.
      *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATILITY ***

My link command for 8.5 was:
  gcc -pipe -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -Wno-implicit-int  pwb.o rechan.o
  zlib.o kitInit.o tclAppInit.o\
  /home/rene/kbs/buildLinux/lib/libtk8.6.a /home/rene/kbs/buildLinux/lib/libtcl8.6.a\
  /home/rene/kbs/buildLinux/lib/libz.a /home/rene/kbs/buildLinux/lib/vfs1.3/libvfs1.3.a\
  /home/rene/kbs/buildLinux/lib/vqtcl4.1/libvqtcl4.1.a\
  /home/rene/kbs/buildLinux/lib/thread2.6.5/libthread2.6.5.a -o kbskit8.5-cli\
  -ldl  -lpthread -lieee -lm

Inserting of 'libtclstub8.6.a' for 8.6 does not solve the problem.

With 'nm' I got the following:

'libtcl*.a':
85:         U tclStubs
85:         U tclStubs
85:tclStubInit.o:
85:00000e58 d tclStubHooks
85:00000540 D tclStubs
85:tclStubLib.o:
85:00000000 B tclStubsPtr
85:         U tclStubs
86:tclStubInit.o:
86:00000008 d tclStubHooks
86:00000000 d tclStubs

'libtclstub*.a':
85:tclStubLib.o:
85:00000000 B tclStubsPtr
86:tclStubLib.o:
86:00000000 B tclStubsPtr
86:         U tclStubsPtr

I will try to see in the build process of the different parts.
