-Tcl 8.6 for Windows
-
-1. Introduction
----------------
-
-This is the directory where you configure and compile the Windows
-version of Tcl. This directory also contains source files for Tcl
-that are specific to Microsoft Windows.
-
-The information in this file is maintained on the web at:
-
- http://www.tcl.tk/doc/howto/compile.html#win
-
-2. Compiling Tcl
-----------------
-
-In order to compile Tcl for Windows, you need the following:
-
- Tcl 8.6 Source Distribution (plus any patches)
-
- and
-
- Visual C++ 6 or newer
-
- or
-
- Linux + MinGW-w64 [http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/]
- (win32 or win64)
-
- or
-
- Cygwin + MinGW-w64 [http://cygwin.com/install.html]
- (win32 or win64)
-
- or
-
- Darwin + MinGW-w64 [http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/]
- (win32 or win64)
-
- or
-
- Msys + MinGW-w64 [http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/]
- (win32 or win64)
-
- or
-
- Msys + MinGW [http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml]
- (win32 only)
-
-
-In practice, this release is built with Visual C++ 6.0 and the TEA
-Makefile.
-
-If you are building with Visual C++, in the "win" subdirectory of the
-source release, you will find "makefile.vc". This is the makefile for the
-Visual C++ compiler and uses the stock NMAKE tool. Detailed directions for
-using it, are in the comments of "makefile.vc". A quick example would be:
-
- C:\tcl_source\win\>nmake -f makefile.vc
-
-There is also a Developer Studio workspace and project file, too, if you
-would like to use them.
-
-If you are building with Linux, Cygwin or Msys, you can use the configure
-script that lives in the win subdirectory. The Linux/Cygwin/Msys based
-configure/build process works just like the UNIX one, so you will want
-to refer to ../unix/README for available configure options.
-
-If you want 64-bit executables (x86_64), you need to configure using
-the --enable-64bit option. Make sure that the x86_64-w64-mingw32
-compiler is present. For Cygwin this compiler can be found in the
-"mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core" package, which can be installed through
-the normal Cygwin install process. If you only want 32-bit executables,
-the "mingw64-i686-gcc-core" package is what you need. For Linux, Darwin
-and Msys, you can download a suitable win32 or win64 compiler from
-[https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/]
-
-Use the Makefile "install" target to install Tcl. It will install it
-according to the prefix options you provided in the correct directory
-structure.
-
-Note that in order to run tclsh86.exe, you must ensure that tcl86.dll is
-on your path, in the system directory, or in the directory containing
-tclsh86.exe.
-
-Note: Tcl no longer provides support for Win32s.
-
-3. Test suite
--------------
-
-This distribution contains an extensive test suite for Tcl. Some of the
-tests are timing dependent and will fail from time to time. If a test is
-failing consistently, please send us a bug report with as much detail as
-you can manage to our tracker:
-
- http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/reportlist
-
-In order to run the test suite, you build the "test" target using the
-appropriate makefile for your compiler.
