Sorry for creating such a flood of messages, I should work harder
before posting ;-)

In the above message, Keith Seitz quoted Ton van Overbeek:

I have now tried this myself and removed tcl.hpj unconditionally, not
knowing how Keith would do it in his patch just for cygwin. Ironically,
I'm now back to my original problem:

checking for Tcl configuration... found
/cygdrive/c/stefan/build/tcl/unix/tclConfig.sh
checking for existence of
/cygdrive/c/stefan/build/tcl/unix/tclConfig.sh... loading
checking for Tcl private include files... Using srcdir found in
tclConfig.sh: /cygdrive/c/stefan/src/tcl
checking for building with threads... no (default)
checking how to build libraries... static
checking for build with symbols... no
configure: error: The TCL_LIB_SUFFIX variable is not defined
configure: error: ../../../src/itcl/itcl/configure failed for itcl
Configure in /cygdrive/c/stefan/build/itcl failed, exiting.

I'm running in circles, it seems. Can anyone help? Mo? Keith?

Cheers
Stefan

I found a helpful message by Corinna Vinschen in the cygwin mailing
list that explained this topic with autoconf
(http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00100.html). From that, I
conclude that configure.in is missing a line with AC_PREREQ(2.13). This
would be the case in src/expect as well. Without this, the newer
version is used automatically, leading to the error. Can you confirm
this? Is it ok to put AC_PREREQ(2.13) into the configure.in files or is
there more to it than meets the eye?

Cheers
Stefan

I used autoconf 2.53 which appears to have a facility to fall back to
version 2.13 depending on the contents of configure.in (at least it
says so when invoked in a directory where there isn't any
configure.in). When invoked in tcl/win it appears to use version 2.53. 

Since the configure script generated by 2.53 does not appear to work, I
assume that it really should be generated by 2.13, but why does it not
do that automatically? I wasn't able to find what to put inside the
configure.in file to tell autoconf-wrapper which version it should use,
neither was I able to find a corresponding autoconf command line
option.

Puzzled
Stefan

You should be able to remove that file name or do a `touch tcl.hpj.in` and
then run configure again. This is odd because it is not a fatal error on my box.

The itcl configure should not load tclConfig.sh out of the tcl/unix subdirectory. That file should not even exist when building under Windows. Blow away your entire build directory and start over, that should fix the problem. If it does not, make sure you generated a new tcl/win/configure script with autoconf 2.13.

I simply copied this file from tcl/tools to tcl/win. I have patches for
other things cygwin-related, but I have yet to really fix them. (They
involve modifying generated files; I've hacked the generated files, but I
need to modify the script which generates them.) These patches have been
posted somewhere, I'm sure. If not, just ask.

After looking once more through the mailing list archive, I found a
contribution by Keith Seitz that seems to be related to this problem
(http://sources.redhat.com/ml/insight/2002-q2/msg00033.html). He said
he'd got a "patch", but if he posted it somewhere, I was too stupid to
find it. Any pointers?

Cheers

Sorry, I didn't realize...  Thanks, Mo!

> Could you give it a test to double check that it works for you?

The patch to tclUnixFCmd.c complained, because for some reason my
source had the #ifndef already. Only the comment was missing. I tweaked
it by hand.

After figuring out that I had to run autoconf in src/expect and
src/tcl/win to regenerate the configure scripts (I'm a bit of a
greenhorn, you see), the configure script failed at a different point
with the following messages:

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating tclConfig.sh
config.status: creating tcl.hpj
config.status: error: cannot find input file: tcl.hpj.in
configure: error: ../../../src/tcl/win/configure failed for win
Configure in /cygdrive/c/stefan/build/tcl failed, exiting.

Have I done anything wrong when I applied the patch?

Cheers
Stefan

I just posted a patch that should fix this problem.

Could you give it a test to double check that it works for you?

configure error in itcl

[Stefan Heinzmann]

Hi all,

I ran into a problem when trying to configure a unified
binutils/insight/newlib source tree which I pulled from the CVS server.

Here's the relevant output:

============================================================

I found a message concerning a similar error in the mailing list
archive (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/insight/2001-q4/msg00210.html),
but the guy seems to have solved the problem without telling how. It
seems I'm not so bright. What's wrong, can anyone help?

Thanks & cheers
Stefan
