TCL stubs library

TCL stubs library

[Sergei Gavrikov]

Hello

FYI:

  1. http://www.tcl.tk/doc/howto/stubs.html
  2. http://wiki.tcl.tk/285

RFC:

If I could understand this howto properly, we can forget about the Tcl/Tk
differences when compile libcdl and link ecosconfig. What do we need?
We have to link ecosconfig using some version of tclstub, -ltclstub8.X.

That would assume that everybody builds and installs the stub support
correctly. I am rather sceptical about that.

I hope that the current host-side configury will keep us going for a
number of years. If we run into problems again then I would be tempted
to import the Tcl sources into the eCos host-side source tree and
build a known good version, much as the gdb folks do. That would avoid
the problems we have seen with different Tcl installations on
different systems. However it would impose another maintenance burden
in the form of keeping that import up to date.

I profess that you are right. I am rapt a nowaday build proccess the
eCos host tools for Linux. I am lucky what I have no needs to do it on
other OS. I oftentimes think, What is better for Windows users: cygwin
or ... eCos VMWare Virtual Appliance http://www.vmware.com/appliances/
for getting started with eCos? I have an answer :)

Thank you,

Sergei
