In case anyone is curious, I just built Tcl 8.4.0 and AOLserver 3.5.0
for my Debian woody Linux box using these steps:
1. Extract AOLserver 3.5.0 source:
$ gzip -dc aolserver-3.5.0-src.tar.gz | tar xf -
2. Extract Tcl 8.4.0 source:
$ cd aolserver-3.5.0-src
$ gzip -dc ../tcl8.4.0-src.tar.gz | tar xf -
3. Build and install Tcl 8.4.0:
$ cd aolserver-3.5.0-src/tcl8.4.0/unix
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/aolserver --enable-threads
$ make install-binaries install-libraries
4. Build and install AOLserver 3.5.0:
$ cd aolserver-3.5.0-src
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/aolserver --enable-symbols \
--with-tcl=/home/aolserver/lib
$ make
$ make install
After a one-line change to nsd/drv.c to get nsunix working again,
everything worked just fine.
I'm looking at fixing up nsunix to not require the one-line change
in nsd/drv.c, then I'm hoping to commit the changes to nsunix so
that nsunix will work "out of the box" with AOLserver 3.5.0.
I noticed that the CVS tag for 3.5.0 seems like it's "aolserver_v35_bp"
-- why the deviation from what appeared to be a very sensible convention
for the previous versions?
