* tcl3270 failure in new Cygwin install @ 2021-09-14 22:29 David McNeill 2021-09-14 23:27 ` Peter A. Castro 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: David McNeill @ 2021-09-14 22:29 UTC (permalink / raw) To: cygwin I just performed a new Cygwin install (32 bit) and chose to install package tcl3270, version 3.3.15ga9-1. Installation of Cygwin, tcl3270 prerequisites, and tcl3270 completed successfully, but when I run tcl3270.exe within Cygwin I get the following error. C:/cygwin/bin/tcl3270.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.5.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory In Cygwin setup, it shows that tcl 8.6.11-1 is installed. I suspect that tcl3270 needs to be compiled against the new tcl package. Is the tcl3270 package still maintained, and if so, can the package maintainer compile against tcl 8.6.11.1 (assuming this is the problem)?

Yes, this is the problem, but I'm having system issues and can't easily rebuild these packages right now. Actually, I'm trying to get the latest x3270 packages built, but I haven't had much spare time lately. Might still be a while until this happens. > Thanks, > David > > -- > Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html > FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ > Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html > Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- --=> Peter A.
