hello,
yesterday I had a look at why tcl does not build on windows. Although I
haven't been able to fix it, I'd like to share the issues I found, so
you don't have to look for it yourself.
there were several problems with the makefile
line 123:
ops: src\binary.o , should be binary$(O)
this is fixed by particle.
line 126:
@cd $(OPSDIR) && $(OPSBUILD) linklibs tcl ..\binary$(O)
makes that the system will look for binary.obj_ops_switch.obj
changing it into ..\ops\tcl will fix that problem
Furthermore, the next problem is that the ops file won't link correctly
because binary.obj is not linked. To solve the problem, I added
binary.obj to the tools/build/dynoplibs.pl script, but of course that is
not a good solution. I haven't been able to solve it. Maybe it's an idea
to just put the source from binary.c into the ops file itself, if that's
possible.
If that's corrected, you'll find 1 more problem: if binary.obj is
linked, it can't resolve the symbol _PMCNULL. As a quick hack, I
#define'd PMCNULL as NULL. After these fixes, it worked.
Hope this helps you further.
regards,
klaas-jan
