[Tclxml-devel] Re: TCLXML2.3 fixes attached .....

[Steve B. <Ste...@zv...>]

Hi Lothar,

I'm cc'ing this to the tclxml-devel mailing list,
as it is of more general interest.

For the benefit of others on the mailing list,
Lothar has joined the TclXML project and has an interest
in getting TclXSLT working well.

My company has a need for a HPUX build as well, so would be
very helpful.

When you run the test suite, bear in mind that it is a known
problem that not all of the tests pass.  In many cases, these
"failures" are not really a problem.

Then that indicates some kind of problem in how the shared library
gets built.  I'd suggest looking at how Andreas has setup
TclXML and TclDOM for TEA2 and applying that to TclXSLT.

I don't know what "MacDo" is...

Certainly.  It should be fairly easy to merge the changes into the
CVS head at this stage.

At the moment we are getting typical spring weather;
beautiful days most of the time, but reverting to cold(-ish)
overcast days - just to remind us that winter has only just
ended.  Looking out my window it looks like it will be
a lovely day, probably around 20-22 deg.

We're looking forward to Xmas, though it doesn't really start
to get hot until January/February (when it can get to 40 some days).
Real beer drinking season!

Cheers,
Steve Ball
