Tcl Source Code

config.guess provided with the thread package is 
out of date. 

Needs to be updated from latest GNU. I used the 
one distributed with gcc-3.0.3 with success.
An autoconf is also needed for configure to work.

moved to pending out of date unless someone can come up 
with a reason to require autoconf 2.5x.

I touched on using autoconf 2.5X in tip 34 but
decided against it for 8.4. I have already
updated Tcl so that it works with either autoconf
2.13 or 2.5X, the only catch is that if you switch
to 2.5X the AC_CYGWIN macro changes such that it
requires AC_CANONICAL_HOST which requires that
config.sub and config.guess exist.

I will send this one your way, close it if you like.

The changes I made should not require config.guess of 
config.sub anymore.  I have considered requiring autoconf 
2.5x, but that is not yet needed.

However, I haven't done significant testing on Mac OS X or 
using gcc 3.0 (I've heard of too many bugs in 3.0 to trust 
it for production stuff).  If we can focus on getting the 
sample extension working on Mac OS X, then that will 
cascade to several others that are based off its build 
setup (Thread, incrtcl, tclx, tktable, ...).

Is this still needed? I know Hobbs has been
doing some work on the sampleextension and
removed the config.sub and config.guess files
there. Also, I was under the impression that
one would not need the config.sub and config.guess
if the AC_CYGWIN macro was not used. Could that
macro be removed so that these files would not
longer be needed?
