This sometimes causes problems or confusion -to developers. This document should help clear up a few things. - -dnr.c ------ - -We have found a way to work around some bugs in dnr.c that -Apple has never fixed even though we sent in numerous bug reports. -The file tclMacDNR.c simply set's some #pragma's and the includes -the Apple dnr.c file. This should work the problems that many of -you have reported with dnr.c. - -More Files ----------- - -Macintosh Tcl/Tk also uses Jim Luther's very useful package called -More Files. More Files fixes many of the broken or underfunctional -parts of the file system. - -More Files can be found on the MetroWerks CD and Developer CD from -Apple. You can also down load the latest version from: - - ftp://members.aol.com/JumpLong/ - -The package can also be found at the home of Tcl/Tk for the mac: - - ftp://ftp.sunlabs.com/pub/tcl/mac/ - -I used to just link the More Files library in the Tcl projects. -However, this caused problems when libraries wern't matched correctly. -I'm now including the files in the Tcl project directly. This -solves the problem of missmatched libraries - but may not always -compile. - -If you get a compiliation error in MoreFiles you need to contact -Jim Luther. His email address: - - JumpLong@aol.com - -The version of More Files that we use with Tcl/Tk is 1.4.3. Early -version may work as well.. - -Unfortunantly, there is one bug in his library (in 1.4.3). The bug is -in the function FSpGetFullPath found in the file FullPath.c. After -the call to PBGetCatInfoSync you need to change the line: - - if ( result == noErr ) - - to: - - if ( (result == noErr) || (result == fnfErr) ) - - -The latest version of More Files is 1.4.6. Unfortunantly, this -version has a bug that keeps it from working with shared libraries -right out of the box. If you want to use 1.4.6 you can but you will -need to make the following fix: - - In the file "Opimization.h" in the More Files package you - need to remove the line "#pragma internal on". And in the - file "OptimazationEnd.h" you need to remove the line - "#pragma internal reset". - -Note: the version of MoreFile downloaded from the Sun Tcl/Tk site -will have the fix included. (If you want you can send email to -Jim Luther suggesting that he use Tcl for regression testing!) - -Ray Johnson |
