Re: [TCLCORE] Tcl / Tk 8.6.8 Release Candidates

[<apn...@ya...>]

The rules-ext.vc and targets.vc files are missing from all extensions in pkgs except itcl.

I had not realized that files had to be explicitly added to the distribution, presuming the source directories for the bundled packages were directly copied (which is what itcl does).

I have fixed this for tdbc* and thread, modifying Makefile.in in trunk for those repositories to copy targets.vc and rules-ext.vc as part of make dist.

Itcl already copied all files and should not have this problem.

Sqlite3/cyqlite I have not modified because looking at Makefile.in in the cyqlite repository, it appears to me all files should already be copied but targets.vc and rules-ext.vc do not appear in the distribution. I'm not sure where the source for the distributed sqlite3 comes from.

I cannot actually test creating a distribution to ensure above fixes work as the autoconf files do not support a make dist target on Windows.
