I find that tkimg is one of a small handful of tcl extensions that really cause a lot of problems.
Interestingly enough, seldom is the problems I have with these packages the external libraries on which they build!
For instance, I'm trying to build tkimg 1.3 . The jpg tcl binding is not building. It can't find the .o files needed to build the shared stub libraries.
The libjpeg itself, however, built without problem. I thought at first I could just copy its .o files into the libjpeg/tcl directory.
However, this results in a series of errors that leads me to believe
something else is needed here.
I'm using a sparc solaris 8 machine and sun's c compiler.
Anyone know of a method to get this to build?
Frankly, this kind of problem really makes tcl look bad, even though tkimg isn't directly tcl. From a user or developer point of view, since tcl/tk is deficit in the functionality needed,
that leaves making use of recommended extensions.
