This file contains a collection of notes that various people have
|
|
provided about porting Tk to various machines and operating systems.
|
|
I don't have personal access to any of these machines, so I make
|
|
no guarantees that the notes are correct, complete, or up-to-date.
|
|
If you see the word "I" in any explanations, it refers to the person
|
|
who contributed the information, not to me; this means that I
|
|
probably can't answer any questions about any of this stuff. In
|
|
some cases, a person has volunteered to act as a contact point for
|
|
questions about porting Tcl to a particular machine; in these
|
|
cases the person's name and e-mail address are listed. I'm very
|
|
interested in getting new porting information to add to the file;
|
|
please mail updates to "john.ousterhout@eng.sun.com".
|
|
|
|
This file reflects information provided for Tk 4.0 and later releases.
|
|
If there is no information for your configuration in this file, check
|
|
the file "porting.old" too; it contains information that was
|
|
submitted for Tk 3.6 and earlier releases, and some of that information
|
|
may still be valid.
|
|
|
|
A new porting database has recently become available on the Web at
|
|
the following URL:
|
|
http://www.sunlabs.com/cgi-bin/tcl/info.4.0
|
|
This page provides information about the platforms on which Tcl 7.4
|
|
and Tk 4.0 have been compiled and what changes were needed to get Tcl
|
|
and Tk to compile. You can also add new entries to that database
|
|
when you install Tcl and Tk on a new platform. The Web database is
|
|
likely to be more up-to-date than this file.

Solaris, various versions

|
|
1. If typing "make test" results in an error message saying that
|
|
there are no "*.test" files, or you get lots of globbing errors,
|
|
it's probably because your system doesn't have cc installed and
|
|
you used gcc. In order for this to work, you have to set your
|
|
CC environment variable to gcc and your CPP environment variable
|
|
to "gcc -E" before running the configure script.
|
|
|
|
2. Make sure that /usr/ucb is not in your PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|
environment variables; this will cause confusion between the new
|
|
Solaris libraries and older UCB versions (Tk will expect one version
|
|
and get another).
|
|
|
|
3. On 486 PCs with Solaris 2.4, when compiling with gcc 2.6.0,
|
|
tkMessage.c appears to hang gcc. If the -O switch is removed
|
|
then it compiles fine.

SGI machines, IRIX 5.2, 5.3, IRIX64 6.0.1

--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Add "-D_BSD_TIME" to CFLAGS in Makefile. This avoids type conflicts
|
|
in the prototype for the gettimeofday procedure.

All of the source files built as is. All I had to do was edit the
|
|
Makefile generated by ./configure to specify where the X11 libraries
|
|
were (ie, I added in -L/usr/X11/lib)
