Re: [MACTCL] MW Code Warrior 6.0 project file for MoreFiles

[Daniel A. S. <st...@ic...>]

Craig,

where did you get your source distribution from? chances are it 
doesn't contain the very latest mac sources for 8.3.3, notably a much 
improved version of tclMacAlloc and corrected project files were 
checked in after 8.3.3 was tagged.

The MoreFiles projects you need should be in 
tcl/mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx in any case, along with other 
information you need to build (e.g. patches for CWPro6) and the 
recommended directory structure. You will also need to get MoreFiles 
1.5.1 from Apple.

There are number of ways you can get the latest mac sources:

you can check them out from sourceforge cvs, using tag 
tcl-core-8-3-1-branch resp tk-core-8-3-1-branch

you can get the full 8.3.3 mac installer which has a sources install 
option that will install tcl & tk sources all ready to build
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/TclTk_8.3.3_FullInstall.bin

the diffs from tags core-8-3-3 (probably what you have) to 
core-8-3-1-branch can also be obtained from 
http://www.maths.mq.edu.au/~steffen/tcltk/Mac_tcltk_core-8-3-3_patches/

As this is not the first time this question has come up, maybe you 
could write up a wiki page with your experiences building mac tcl/tk, 
and announce it here?
I'll be happy to add more details, but someone not used to building 
mac tcl/tk is probably more appropriate to start a page on the 
subject, I would be very likely to forget some essential steps...

Cheers,

Daniel
