Will the C based Tcl extensions work the same with the threaded version of Tcl versus the non-threaded Tcl? One reason for using TclBlend is to access these extensions such as Expect and Scotty. I don't really see why we need to require the multi-threaded Tcl. If TclBlend works with multi-threaded Tcl, then it should work with a non-threaded Tcl. There needs to be better documentation clarifying things such as "when using non-threaded Tcl, you can't create a second interpreter in a different thread." But if the threaded Tcl has no problem with the extensions, then I will be OK with requiring threaded Tcl with TclBlend. -- Jiang Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Mo DeJong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2000 2:25 PM To: Scott Redman Cc: Jiang Wu; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Tcl Java] Re: [Tcl Java] RE: [Tcl Java] RE: [Tcl Java] Thread question in TclBlend I have no problem with requiring that Tcl be compiled with --enable-threads in order to work with Tcl Blend. Keep in mind that this will be yet another nail in the coffin of a "pre built" binary version of Tcl Blend. Frankly, I think the 1.3 release should include no pre built binaries for any paltforms. If folks want to build on windows they will need to install Cygwin and or Mingwin. Mo Dejong Red Hat Inc.
