-==============================================================================
- How to create prebuilt Tcl/Tk binaries
-==============================================================================
-
-Please look further down in this text for Windows instructions...
-
-Unixish OS
-----------
-
-For commercial releases we use a prebuilt binary release of Tcl/Tk 8.X
-where X >= 2. This release is placed into "gs-VSN/priv/tcl" and the
-'gstk_port_handler' module searches this directory first to find the
-"wish" executable program.
-
-It is possible to pack the files from a standard installation on a
-machine into a TAR file but it is preferable to build Tcl/Tk from
-sources. The steps are
-
- 0. Set some environment variables
-
- % setenv BUILDDIR /tmp/build
- % setenv GNUTAR gtar
-
- 1. Download unpack the sources from http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl.
- Use the latest stable release. When this README was written
- the latest stable version was 8.3.4.
-
- % mkdir -p $BUILDDIR/tcl
- % cd $BUILDDIR
- % $GNUTAR -xzf /my/src/path/tcl8.3.4.tar.gz
- % $GNUTAR -xzf /my/src/path/tk8.3.4.tar.gz
-
- % cd tcl8.3.4/unix
- % ./configure --enable-gcc --enable-threads --disable-load \
- --disable-shared --prefix=$BUILDDIR/tcl
- % make
- % make install
-
- % cd ../../tk8.3.4/unix
- % ./configure --enable-gcc --enable-threads --disable-load \
- --disable-shared --prefix=$BUILDDIR/tcl \
- --with-tcl=$BUILDDIR/tcl/lib
- % make
- % make install
-
- 2. Check that the executable wish program don't depend on libtcl
- or libtk. If it does we have to redo this or keep them
- where they are, else we can remove the libraries
-
- % cd $BUILDDIR
- % ldd tcl/bin/wish8.3
-
- and if the executables doesn't depend on libtcl or libtk we remove them
-
- % rm -f tcl/lib/libt*
-
- 3. Remove other things we don't need. There may be other things in
- later releases but only remove the obvious things
-
- % rm -fr tcl/include tcl/man
- % rm -f tcl/bin/tclsh*
- % rm -f tcl/lib/*.sh
- % rm -fr tcl/lib/tcl*/http*
- % rm -fr tcl/lib/tcl*/tcltest*
- % rm -fr tcl/lib/tk*/demos
- % rm -fr tcl/lib/tk*/images
- % rm -f tcl/lib/*/*.c
-
- 4. Some releases of Tcl/Tk contains soft links that make the directory
- structure circular making it impossible to use 'cp' to copy the
- tcl directory. You can find them with
-
- % find tcl -type l
-
- 5. Find out the name of the resulting TAR archive. Run the GS configure
- script on the target platform to view the name
-
- % cd $ERL_TOP/lib/gs
- % rm -f config.cache
- % autoconf
- % ./configure
-
- 6. Use the TAR program on the system to pack the resulting Tcl/Tk
- distribution. Keep the top "tcl" library
-
- % tar -cf - tcl | gzip > xxxxxxxx.tar.gz
-
- 7. Copy and check in this TAR archive into the directory
-
- /clearcase/otp/erts/lib/gs/tcl/binaries
-
- 8. We are done........
-
-
-Windows
--------
-
-These instructions are aimed at the 8.5.7 release of both tcl and tk,
-but should work for 8.4 as well as 8.6 releases with appropriate
-modifications.
-
-0. Download the source tar files for both tcl and tk and unpack the
-tar files from the same root.
-
-1. Start with tcl. Open a command prompt with the appropriate Visual
-C++ command environment (there is usually a shortcut under VC++ tools
-or something in the start menu. With this command prompt, cd to the
-tcl<version>/win directory and issue the following commands:
-
-dos_prompt> nmake -f makefile.vc OPTS=static INSTALLDIR=<some temp dir>\tcl
-...
-dos_prompt> nmake -f makefile.vc OPTS=static INSTALLDIR=<some temp dir>\tcl install
-
-2. Move further to tk. Using the same command prompt, cd
-..\..\tk<version>\win and build there:
-
-dos_prompt> nmake -f makefile.vc OPTS=static TCLDIR=<top dir of sources>\tcl<version> INSTALLDIR=<some temp dir>\tcl
-...
-dos_prompt> nmake -f makefile.vc OPTS=static TCLDIR=<top dir of sources>\tcl<version> INSTALLDIR=<some temp dir>\tcl install
-
-3. Now you will need to strip the installation you put in <some temp
-dir>\tcl. To do this, you will want a more appropriate command
-shell. Start cygwin bash and cd to the cygwin equivalent of <some temp
-dir>, i.e. where tcl/tk was installed. Now clean away what's not
-needed (this is not optional, gs won't work with a full version...)
-
- % rm -fr tcl/include tcl/man
- % rm -f tcl/bin/tclsh*
- % rm -f tcl/lib/*.sh
- % rm -fr tcl/lib/tcl*/http*
- % rm -fr tcl/lib/tcl*/tcltest*
- % rm -fr tcl/lib/tcl*/tzdata
- % rm -fr tcl/lib/tcl*/msgs
- % rm -fr tcl/lib/tk*/demos
- % rm -fr tcl/lib/tk*/images
- % rm -fr tcl/lib/tk*/tzdata
- % rm -f tcl/lib/*/*.c
- % rm -f tcl/lib/*.lib
- % rm -fr tcl/lib/tcl8
-
-(The last line is especially important, gs will crash otherwise...)
-
-4. Now copy license.terms from the sources, otherwise you may break the redistribution policy.
-
- % cp <top of sources/tcl<version>/license.terms tcl/
-
-5. Pack the tar file:
-
- % tar zcf win32.tar.gz tcl
-
-6. Put it in $ERL_TOP/lib/gs/tcl/binaries (as described for Unixes)
-
-7. You are done!
