1) fixed/h/config.h can be made automatically. Some of this is
|
|
|
5 |
achieved by overrides in the configure script.

You will need a copy of sh.exe in /bin. Then with the R sources in
|
|
|
8 |
/R/rw1070, I used in /TEMP/R (any other directory will do, except the
|
|
|
9 |
sources)

This ran fairly slowly, producing a src/include/config.h that differs
|
|
|
14 |
only in that

- it found R_PRINTCMD = lpr on my system, but that is not used under
|
|
|
17 |
Windows, so the actual setting is irrelevant.

- It found libreadline, not used under Windows.

Also, watch out for versions of the header files. For example,
|
| 22656 |
ripley |
22 |
<strings.h> was in mingw-runtime-1.2 and later, but not in the
|
|
|
23 |
Mingw-1.1 bundle.

2) The Makefiles for building a distribution have been reorganized. Now
|
|
|
28 |
all of the decisions about what files go into the distributables are made
|
|
|
29 |
in installer/Makefile; the decisions about which component of the setup
|
|
|
30 |
program each file goes into are made in installer/JRins.pl.

3) Making Tcl/Tk.
|
|
|
35 |
|
|
|
36 |
Get the Tcl/Tk sources (I used 8.4.5 when testing this).
|
|
|
37 |
You need VC++6 and a Windows command-line window.
|
|
|
38 |
|
| 27944 |
ripley |
39 |
Run "\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\VCVARS32.BAT"
|
| 27942 |
ripley |
40 |
|
|
|
41 |
cd tcl8.4.5\win
|
|
|
42 |
nmake -nologo -f makefile.vc release winhelp
|
|
|
43 |
nmake -f makefile.vc install
|
|
|
44 |
cd ..\..\tk8.4.5\win
|
|
|
45 |
nmake -nologo -f makefile.vc TCLDIR=..\..\tcl8.4.5 release winhelp
|
|
|
46 |
nmake -f makefile.vc install
|
|
|
47 |
|
|
|
48 |
Now copy /Program Files/Tcl to say /R/Tcl and (in any reasonable shell)
|
|
|
49 |
cd /R/Tcl
|
|
|
50 |
rm bin/tclpip84.dll bin/tclsh84.exe bin/wish.exe
|
|
|
51 |
rm -rf lib/*.lib lib/tk8.4/demos lib/tk8.4/images
|
|
|
52 |
cp .../tcl8.4.5/license.terms .
