Itcl - the [incr Tcl] extension

Test "sfbug-254" fails as follows:

System:
   *   Win 10 64 bit GER
   *   itcl4.0.5 in tcl8.6.6rc1
   *   MS-VC++ + PSDK2003SP1 32 bit, Makefile.vc

ok, this is a testing error.  For some reason the built
code is not available properly to the testing engine.
I'll need a contributed fix.

This is not windows issue and can affect every system where Itcl is basically not installed (resp. pkgIndex could not be found in library paths).

For example just compile (itcl), then without installation try to test it, like:

$ cd $prj/itcl4/unix/build; make --with-tcl=$prj/tcl8.6/unix/build
$ cd $prj/itcl4
$ $prj/tcl8.6/unix/build/tclsh ./tests/all.tcl -load 'load $prj/itcl4/unix/build/libitcl.so itcl'

Should be fixed now in [87a89c9a927db943].

@Harald, can you test this?

Thus I'll close this ticket now (please reopen if I'm wrong).

Thank you, sebres, for the homework.

Action taken:

• tcl8.6.9 file distribution
• Removed anything under pkgs\itcl4.1.2
• downloaded ITCL commit [0155e66402] as zip
• put the folder contents to pkgs\itcl4.1.2
• cd tcl8.6.9\win
• nmake -f Makefile.vc
• nmake -f Makefile.vc test TESTFLAGS="-verbose bte" > testlog_tcl8.6.9_itcl_0155e66402.txt 2>&1
• nmake -f Makefile.vc install INSTALLDIR=c:\test\tcl869_itcl_0155e66402
• start tclsh, package require Itcl -> 4.1.2

The test failures are fixed, thank you, good work !

Harald
