There is, but I can't remember where they are keep. Your best bet is to search the SN mailing list archive. > Can we use the latest version of the windows > hosted TCL/TK from the scriptics site (8.3.4.2), or must we compile the one > that comes with SN? Well, I'm not sure anymore. It used to be that you had to use the Tcl/Tk version that comes with SN, but I've done a lot of work to remove those depandencies. They may be a couple of problems with using the activestate/scriptics versions, so I would using the SN version. If you try other version of Tcl/Tk, let me know how you get on. > What actually are the problems with compiling under > Windows, is it just a broken build or are there fundamental issues that > must be addressed ? They are a few fundamental issues, but it is really a matter of having a week or two to spend on the build. The crux of the matter is we are changing the build from using MS-VC++ to gcc, currently it's not working with either. Ian.
