[Tcl Java] RE: [Tcl Java] Does Tcl Blend need to build with a shared Tcl?

2000-07-13 Thread Scott Redman 

If TclBlend was built with Tcl stubs, then it would
work fine.  Otherwise, TclBlend needs to be linked
against a dynamic build of Tcl and a dynamic JVM.
The code in blend will do a LoadLibrary of itself,
so TclBlend needs to be dynamic as well...

Let's make it stubs-aware.

David Gravereaux sent out an email to the TEA mailing
list about a mechanism that would allow TclBlend to
find the Tcl DLLs and load the stub table (when loading
blend from the JVM).

 Subject: [Tcl Java] Does Tcl Blend need to build with a shared Tcl?
 
 
 I was just trying to build Tcl Blend when I got this error:
 
 % /home/mo/project/tcljava/configure 
 --prefix=/home/mo/project/install/tcljava 
 --with-tcl=/home/mo/project/build/tcl
 srcdir is /home/mo/project/tcljava
 configuring for both jacl and tclblend
 checking for Tcl build in /home/mo/project/build/tcl
 configure: error: Tcl was not built correctly.
 Make sure Tcl was configured with --enable-shared.
 
 That check has been in there since version 1.0, but
 I can't say I know exactly why. Can anyone think of
 a reason that Tcl Blend can not be loaded into
 a statically compiled build of Tcl? As long as
 Tcl is built with support for the load command,
 I don't think it would be a problem. Of course,
 you would not be able to load Tcl + Tcl Blend
 into a JVM if it was not build as a shared library,
 but that is fine.

Yeah, but Tcl still has that load stuff, I though
it would only be dis-allowed if you passed
--disable-load to configure. I tested it out
with a static version of Tcl and it seemed
to be able to load libtclblend.so just fine.
Is that something that would break under
windows?

Sounds good. Could you repost that email to this list.
Better yet, a patch to implement Davids approach.
