Compiling tcltklib

[Zach Dennis]

Ok I've got the compiling part of Ruby set. Ruby 1.8.1 is up and going.
However I can't seem to get the Tcltklib to compile. What does the line look
like when you are using the "--with" statements?

I've tried things similar to:

bcc32\configure --with...eetc...etc..

when i ran the configure.bat for the ruby compile and i tried running it
from the tcltklib directory. Any ideas what the command looks like from a
windows command prompt? It gives me an error upon unknown "--with..."

Any help appreciated. Thanks,

Zach

My development machine stats:

Windows 2000 SP4
Borland C/C++ Compiler 5.5
Ruby 1.8.1
ActiveTCL 8.4

- The ruby source is in the D:\source\ruby1.8.1 directory.
- The tcl source is in the D:\source\Tcl directory

Ok I got it to work by after the ruby compile by doing:

I:\source\ruby\ext\tcltklib\> ruby extconf.rb --with-tcl-dir="I:\source\tcl"

Does anyone know how to add this argument when doing the ruby compile
instead of compiling ruby, then going back and redoing it?

Thanks,

Zach

Ok,

I've got it compiling now and here is my next obstacle.

I tried:
---------------------------------------------------------
I:\source\languages\ruby\source\ruby-1.8.1\ext\tcltklib>nmake
DESTDIR=I:\ruby install

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.8168.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1998. All rights reserved.

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make
'I:/ruby/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32/ruby.h'
Stop.
---------------------------------------------------------


You can see my issue. However I thought I would do things the 'manual'. so I
then did:
---------------------------------------------------------
I:\source\languages\ruby\source\ruby-1.8.1\ext\tcltklib>nmake
---------------------------------------------------------

and it worked. I got my tcltk.lib and tcltk.so file. I put them in:
I:\ruby\lib
I put the tcltk.rb file in: I:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8

I cannot say: require 'tk'

it outputs:

i:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:7:in `require': No such file to load -- tcltklib
(LoadError)
from i:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:7
from deleteMe.rb:1:in `require'
from deleteMe.rb:1

>Exit code: 1

Does anyone know of any other files i need in order to get tk to work.
Everything is compiled from
scratch so I am starting from the ground up.


My Development Stats:
-Windows 2000
-Ruby 1.8.1preview2
-Tcl/Tk 8.4.4
-Microsoft Visual Studio 6(i couldn't get borland to find the tcl84.lib and
tk84.lib files)



Thanks,
