Here's the description of --disable-load from the Tcl configure script: --disable-load disallow dynamic loading and load command If you want to produce a static build, you want to look at this switch: --enable-shared build and link with shared libraries [--enable-shared] You would want to pass --disable-shared to the "configure" script. AOLserver can be built as a static binary this way. I'm actually wondering if AOLserver could/should be able to build with a Tcl that was built with --disable-load ... maybe Tcl's autoconf setup needs fixing. > Well the coclusion for the mailing list: the problems where caused by > --disable-load switch used while configuring Tcl. Perhaps someone else will get curious and investigate why this is the case. In an ideal world, AOLserver should still build with Tcl even if Tcl was built iwth --disable-load, but obviously something is wrong. For anyone who's interested: When you build Tcl 8.4.9 with --disable-load, it causes TCL_SHLIB_LD, TCL_SHLIB_LD_LIBS and TCL_SHLIB_SUFFIX to all be empty in tclConfig.sh. AOLserver relies on these for its build process, and therefore fails to build when these variables are empty. If someone on the Tcl team thinks this might be considered a bug in Tcl (i.e., even if you're building --disable-load, why shouldn't these variables be populated correctly in the tclConfig.sh), then perhaps we or they can file it as a bug in their tracker. I don't think this is necessarily a bug in AOLserver, but I'm willing to hear reasons why it might be. :-) > Thank you very much for your efficient help. You're welcome!
