Tcl Source Code

The SC_PROG_TCLSH macro in the current CVS HEAD  and
Tcl 8.4.11 release is badly broken. It will search both
the PATH
and the Tcl build and install dirs for a tclsh
executable. Most of
the time this works, but if anything goes wrong the
user gets
really strange errors. Most of the time an extension
will only
need to run the tclsh in the Tcl build dir. Another Tcl
shell
installed on the PATH will not work for running test cases.
Sometimes an extension will need to run an installed
Tcl shell
to execute Makefile rules like `make genstubs`. To
support both
of these uses without getting them mixed up, I have
split the
functionality into two macros. The SC_PROG_TCLSH macro
will search for a tclsh installed on the system PATH
for the
case where `make genstubs` or something like it needs
to be done.
The SC_BUILD_TCLSH macro will determine the name of
the tclsh executable built in the Tcl build dir and
subst the
BUILD_TCLSH variable into an extension makefile.

This patch will change tcl, tk, tclconfig,
sampleextension, and
whatever other extensions depend on tclconfig. I am
going to
check this info the HEAD and the Tcl 8.4 branch.
