#107 Build error

[HY Kok]

I am trying to build Tix 8.4.3 with TCL/Tk 8.6.1 on Linux CentOS 6.4. Someone mentioned a similar bug here:

but the patch link is not accessible. Any help you can provide will be much appreciated. Thank you.

The direct 'result' access for interps has been deprecated for a while, and removed in 8.6. These need to be changed to Tcl_GetStringResult(interp) (or sortInterp) where appropriate.

[~/cvs/tix/tix] 6 % grep -r 'nterp->result' .
./ChangeLog: * generic/tixAppInit.c, generic/tixGrid.c: remove refs to interp->result
./generic/tixGrSort.c: * so as to preserve the error message in sortInterp->result.
./generic/tixGrSort.c: order = strtol(sortInterp->result, &end, 0);
./generic/tixGrSort.c: if ((end == sortInterp->result) || (*end != 0)) {
./generic/tixMethod.c: * of our callers expect to find result inside interp->result.
./PyTix-2.0/INSTALL-1.12.txt: fprintf(stderr, "Tix_Init error: %s\n", interp->result);

[Jeffrey Hobbs]

Applied changes to tixGrSort.c to remove improper result access. I think this was missed in earlier cleanup because of sortInterp naming.
