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://dev.scriptics.com/doc/howto/compile.html#win - -2. Compiling Tcl ----------------- - -In order to compile Tcl for Windows, you need the following items: - - Tcl 8.3 Source Distribution (plus any patches) - - Visual C++ 2.x/4.x/5.x - -In practice, this release is built with Visual C++ 5.0 - -In the "win" subdirectory of the source release, you will find -"makefile.vc". This is the makefile Visual C++ compiler. You should -update the paths at the top of the file to reflect your system -configuration. Now you can use "make" (or "nmake" for VC++) to build -the tcl libraries and the tclsh executable. - -In order to use the binaries generated by these makefiles, you will -need to place the Tcl script library files someplace where Tcl can -find them. Tcl looks in one of following places for the library files: - - 1) The path specified in the environment variable "TCL_LIBRARY". - - 2) In the lib\tcl8.3 directory under the installation directory - as specified in the registry: - - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Scriptics\Tcl\8.3 - - 3) Relative to the directory containing the current .exe. - Tcl will look for a directory "..\lib\tcl8.3" relative to the - directory containing the currently running .exe. - -Note that in order to run tclsh83.exe, you must ensure that tcl83.dll -and tclpip83.dll are on your path, in the system directory, or in the -directory containing tclsh83.exe. - -Note: Tcl no longer provides support for Win32s. - -This page includes a lengthy discussion of compiler macros necessary -when compiling Tcl extensions that will be dynamically loaded. - -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. Please use the online database at - http://dev.scriptics.com/ticket/ - -In order to run the test suite, you build the "test" target using the -appropriate makefile for your compiler. - |
