Tcl Source Code

The macro EXCEPTION_REGISTRATION has to be replaced by TCL_EXCEPTION_REGISTRATION in the files tclWin32Dll.c, tclWinChan.c and tclWinFCmd.c

Otherwise make stops with an error.

Alexey Pavlov has created an appropriate patch for Tcl 8.6.1

https://github.com/Alexpux/mingw-builds/blob/master/patches/tcl/tcl-8.6.1-mingwexcept.patch

For a 8.5.15 patch see the lines below:

Already fixed 5 weeks ago in core-8-5-branch [93a144a3be] and trunk [7488de4f4b]

Assigning to someone able to review. (Seems sane to me, but I don't build those files.)
