During the alpha versions functions like Tcl_ObjGetVar2 were replaced by
Tcl_GetObjVar2 and later it was renamed to Tcl_GetVar2Ex. For example I
had to put in a test like this in src/native/javaInterp.c.
#if (TCL_MAJOR_VERSION == 8 && TCL_MINOR_VERSION == 0) /* Tcl 8.0 */
resultPtr = Tcl_ObjSetVar2(interp, part1Ptr, part2Ptr, valuePtr,
flags);
#else /* it is Tcl 8.1 or above */
resultPtr = Tcl_SetObjVar2(interp, Tcl_GetStringFromObj(part1Ptr, (int
*) NULL),
Tcl_GetStringFromObj(part2Ptr, (int
*) NULL),
valuePtr, flags);
#endif /* Tcl 8.0 */
But now it seems like the old API has been re-introduced so it might be
better just to go back to the old way of doing things.
The other nasty problem is a bug in the configure script that writes out
Tcl's tclConfig.sh file. The TCL_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS variable is being written
like this on a sun compiled with cc and using ld.
TCL_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS='-Wl,-R,${LIB_RUNTIME_DIR}'
This will not link because the linker does not understand the -Wl,
argument.
The correct way is like this.
TCL_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS='-R,${LIB_RUNTIME_DIR}'
later
