| Description: |
Patch to sampleextension/tclconfig/tcl.m4 to allow TEA extensions to build with MSVC7 (the "free" edition of the VC++ toolkit). Summary of changes: + Don't use "-GD" + Don't use "-link50compat" + Don't use "-YX" + Use "LINK -LIB" instead of "LIB" for STLIB_LD. Related information: http://wiki.tcl.tk/11431 | |||

More info:
"/GD" supposedly means "Optimize for Windows DLL", but
according to the manual it's also "Reserved for future use".
Apparently a no-op in VC6 and earlier; not supported at all
in VC7.
"-link50compat" isn't needed for TEA extensions under normal
circumstances to begin with: it's only useful if the
extension (a) builds an import library (either for the
extension itself or for a stub library) that (b) needs to be
compatible with older Windows compilers.
"-YX" generates a *.PCH file under VC6; it's not supported
under VC7, and is not necessary even under VC6. VC6 users
who really want the *.pch file can use "CFLAGS=-YX" at
configure-time to reenable this feature.
LIB.EXE does not seem to be included in MSVC7; LINK /LIB
should work for VC6 and earlier versions as well as VC7.
It might be worthwhile to also remove "/MD" ("link with
MSVCRT"), but I'm not sure of the full ramifications of
this. Since LIBTCLSTUB.LIB already has a DEFAULTLIB:MSVCRT
dependency, it might not do any good anyway.
