</PRE>
First build GUSI. If you didn't get the python-specific GUSI you have to
move the files from the "CWGUSI-mods" to the right
-place in the CWGUSI distribution folder. Build the
-projects <code>MSLGUSI.68K.µ</code>, <code>MSLGUSI.CFM68K.µ</code> and

-If you have a CWGUSI version more recent than
-1.8 it could be that the fixes are already included, check it.

case, see below. Of course, if you are only interested in one of
static 68K, CFM68K or PPC you can skip building the other libraries.

+You need to make some minor changes to the Tcl/Tk 8.0 beta2

+TkLibraries.¹ (in the mac subfolders).
<UL>
-<LI> You have to change the access path setting and such to use the MSL
-libraries (this tcl/tk ditribution predates MSL).
-
-<LI> Rename the <code>compat</code> folders to <code>(compat)</code>
-in both the Tcl and Tk folders.
-
-<LI> In the Tcl folder, move <code>strncasecmp.c</code> and
-<code>tclErrno.h</code> from <code>(compat)</code> to the main Tcl
-folder.
-
-<LI> Fix <code>dnr.c</code> as provided by MetroWerks by inserting
-<pre><code> #pragma ANSI_strict off </code></pre> at the
-beginning. The tcl library is built with strict ANSI on, and this file
-uses C++ style comments.
+<LI> There are no cfm68k targets. You make these by copying the 68k targets,
+setting the "68k target" to "cfm68k library" and changing the output filename,
+and changing the prefix
+header filename in the C/C++ settings panel to "MW_???HeaderCFM68K".
-<LI> If you want to build <code>SimpleTcl</code> and
-<code>SimpleTk</code> you may have to remove the references
-to <code>libmoto</code> from the project, not everyone has this library.
-
-<LI> If you want to build for CFM68K you have to create the projects
-for the libraries yourself. Take the 68K library projects, set the C++ header
-file to "MW_TclHeaderCFM68K", the project type to "cfm68K library" and the
-filename to "Tcl-CFM68K.Lib" (and similarly for Tk).
-You may also have to modify <code>TclMacNotify.c</code>
-because there is an error in the Apple Universal headers (sic!). Read the
-comments at the beginning of <code>Mac:Python:macglue.c</code> and copy the
-code to <code>TclMacNotify.c</code>. If you get linker errors on <code>GetEvQHdr</code>
-you have not done this correctly. <em>XXXX Is this still needed?</em>
+<LI> I had to add Search.c (from MoreFiles) to the tcl library projects. I don't
+understand why this is, but it seemed to cure the problems I had.
<LI> Note that if you use a different release of Tcl and Tk than the ones
I have used you may have to adapt the Python <code>tkresources.rsrc</code> file.
