Tcl Source Code

Hi, 
 
(from my email to c.l.t) 
 
  1. first an Introduction to Interix (known as 
Microsoft SFU): 
 
    a. Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/
sfu/default.asp 
    b. Interop Systems: http://www.interopsystems.com 
 
  2. why using SFU? 
 
    a. SFU is POSIX, SFU is UNIX 
    b. you can compile, edit and run you source code 
like on every 
       other unix os 
    c. use your Unix know-how to write Windows 
software 
    d. use !!!one!!! source tree (proven by my own 
projects) to create 
       Unix, Mac OSX and now Windows software 
    e. you can login with telnet or openssh, using 
your bash (and now 
       tcl) to get your work done and finally use the 
already known Micro- 
       soft applications on your desk (even remote 
with "rdesktop") 
    f. save space and money for one additional 
workstation (on your table) 
    g. SFU fits very well into the Windows environment 
       (no path-name-horror-trip with cygwin) 
 
  3. why not using SFU? 
     (already known Windows limitations still exist) 
 
    a. you can not create files like "odd\\\[\]*?
\{\}name" (NFS limitation) 
    b. a user started server can listen on low ports 
(security hole) 
    c. multiple server can listen on the same port. 
The first one wins but 
       the second one does get !!no!! error-msg 
    d. fifo speed is slow (~10 times slower than 
Linux) 
    e. application speed is high, filesystem access 
speed is medium 
 
  4. please do not send any email to the address 
provided

The AC_TRY_RUN problems aren't serious; the default is at
least moderately sensible.

As far as I can tell, AC_ARG_ARRAY is not a construct
directly in use in the standard Tcl/Tk core, either in the
8.4 branch or the HEAD.

Hi, 
 
 I'll check autoconf 2.13 to see what happen 
 
 1. !!original!! configuration doest not work 
    (8.4.6 original sourcecode) 
 
 2. get errors 
configure.in:85: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default 
to allow cross compiling 
configure.in:363: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without 
default to allow cross compiling 
configure.in:435: AC_ARG_ARRAY has been removed; don't do 
unportable things with arguments

Hi, 
 
  1. it is against 8.4.6 
  2. I'll put it against HEAD 
  3. Iterix only supports autoconf-2.5*

Is this patch against the HEAD?
(Tcl 8.5a2)  If not, can you update
it to that development point?
Thanks.

It appears you are using 
autoconf-2.5* features, so this
patch will only be suitable
for Tcl 8.5;  Tcl 8.4 releases
are sticking with autoconf-2.13.
