RE: [MACTCL] exec on mac

[macnerd <ma...@re...>]

Hi.

I am interested in a command line mode.  I hope that by this
weekend, I can explore this option.  

I would like to at least compile tcl/tk using MPW-CodeWarrior,
i.e. MPW build environment, which then uses MPW Metrowerks
compilers to achieve the same result.

I get annoyed with the current setup because the project files
NEVER work.  It is always two versions or so behind the times,
and since the project file is a proprietary binary, there's not
much one can do about it.

Though with MPW, the build can be stored in a make file for use
with the MPW environment.  The make file will always work.  Also,
for the really bold, someone at Apple a long long time ago, 
actually ported GCC to MPW.  Though I think it only builds 68K
binaries.

Another thing I wanted to do, is take any resource files and 
store them as .r text files.  These would be compiled into the
appropriate form.  The reason being is that resource files are
not cross platform, as other platforms do not have resource 
forks.  It'd be easy to archive, email, check-in, etc. .r 
files.

Subject: [MACTCL] exec on mac



Hi,

 there have to be a way to call additional executables from
 a Tcl script

 I need the channel output back into a string

 I have an additional API for calling external SW -> 
 does Applescript helps ?

 does "open |..." works ?


well 

  like you mention I'm working on a Mac port of "Compiler"
  MacOS 9.1 well no 10


 I use Code Warrior (well the name fits exactly)

 1) is a commandline interface available

  cammandline + some kind of exec would be perfect

 2) is a cross compiler linux -> macOs9.1 ppc available
   gcc does not support MacOs9.1 (this speak for them-
   self) perhaps CodeWarrior ???
