Everytime I try to install tkCVS under Windows, I get the following error message:
"Error: couldn't open "tkcvs/tkcvs.blank": no such file or directory"
The TCL stack trace is
couldn't open "tkcvs/tkcvs.blank": no such file or directory
while executing
"open [file join tkcvs tkcvs.blank] "r""
(procedure "doinstall" line 20)
invoked from within
"doinstall $INSTALLROOT"
invoked from within
".bottom.do invoke"
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke]"
(procedure "tkButtonUp" line 9)
invoked from within
"tkButtonUp .bottom.do
"
(command bound to event)
The version of tkCVS is 6.4. The version of TCL is 8.3.
I've set the HOME environment variable to T: and USER to MIKE. I've also tried this with different versions of tkCVS and TCL and on another machine. The result is always the same. So, anyone know what is wrong?
Also, does anyone actually know of anyone who has successfully run this under Windows?
Thanks,
Mike
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You didn't move doinstall.tcl before you executed it, did you? I can't think of any other reason why it wouldn't find tkcvs/tkcvs.blank. Well, unless that got moved instead.
I've had a report that you can't have HOME set
to a drive letter. It has to be in a subdirectory, or else the "~" shortcut gets confused. There's a patch for that, but it hasn't made a release yet. But in any case, that wouldn't affect the installation. Doinstall.tcl doesn't care in the least about USER or HOME.
I've personally run tkcvs on Windows 95, 98, ME, and 2000, and I know of people using it on NT. So yes, it does work.
