Instead I compile it myself and provide the binaries for free. The simulator is end of life. I just use the machine to compile tcl and extensions. If I find problems I try to fix it or ask for advice. At least 8.6 is still in beta. And, yes I have to patch 8.5 still today for the IRIX mkstemp() problem. Let's stop here. By, rene |
