Re: cygwin Tcl/Tk 20030214-1: [incr Tcl/Tk] interpreters missing

[Jerzy Witkowski]

Hello,

I downloaded new Tcl/Tk Cygwin package (tcltk-20030901-1.tar.bz2) and the
problem still exists:

% package require Itcl
couldn't load library "C:/cygwin/lib/itcl3.2/../libitcl32.a": invalid
argument

Best regards,

Jerzy Witkowski

#@! I was under the impression that it worked. I just tried it: it
doesn't work at all on cygwin. Sigh.

I've added Martin to this discussion. I don't know if he's back on line
yet. [I even tried using "--enable-shared" on cygwin to no avail.]

My apologies for not testing this.

Cygwin Tcl/Tk 20030214-1: [incr Tcl/Tk] interpreters missing

[Jerzy Witkowski]

Hello,

I refreshed my Cygwin installation and found out that [incr Tcl/Tk]
interpreters are missing. In the previous version Tcl/Tk interpreters were
named `cygtclsh80.exe', `cygwish80.exe', `cygitclsh30.exe' and
`cygitkwish30.exe'. Now the first two of them are named `tclsh.exe' and
`wish.exe', but I cannot find the last ones. It is strange, because the
compile libraries (e.g. lib/libitcl.a) and startup files (e.g.
usr/share/itcl3.2/) for them are still supplied. Please help.

    Cygwin DLL version info:
        DLL version: 1.3.20
    tcltk                20030214-1

Best regards,

Jerzy Witkowski

I suggest you go to the official Tcl project pages and read up on Tcl
8.4 and, especially "TEA", the Tcl Extension Architecture. There will
never again be an Incr Tcl shell: it's not needed.

To get an Itcl shell, you must configure the build with
"--enable-shared" (on unix only -- cygwin always builds this way). When
you start tclsh, give it the command "package require Itcl". This will
load the Itcl extension. POOF! You know have an itclsh.exe. Do the same
with wish, and you have an itkwish.exe.

That doesn't seem to work too well on cygwin:

couldn't load library "F:/cygwin/lib/itcl3.2/../libitcl32.a": invalid argument
