I tried on FreeBSD, but it didn't compile. It kept complaining about
functions that have changed name / parameters or giving linking problems
with Tcl memory management functions, i think, but I don't recall
exactly...
The problem is that the Tcl_GetMemoryInfo function is declared as MODULE_SCOPE rather than global scope in Tcl 8.5.0. We worked around it by modifying the relevant source file prior to compiling Tcl, like so:
---- 8< ------------------------------------------------------
pushd generic
cp -p tclThreadAlloc.c tclThreadAlloc.c.orig
sed 's/^MODULE_SCOPE void/void/' < tclThreadAlloc.c.orig > tclThreadAlloc.c
popd
---- 8< ------------------------------------------------------
(Tcl_GetMemoryInfo is the only function in tclThreadAlloc.c that's declared as MODULE_SCOPE void, so this change doesn't affect anything else.)
Other than that, 8.5.0 seems to work (with AOLserver 4.5.0), though we haven't tested it extensively yet.
