Hi Uwe- I finally figured out what i was doing wrong that was causing my mail to get held up by a moderator. I use multiple accounts for email. I signed up to the mail list and was using one of my other mail accounts to try and post to the list so it didnt recognize me as a list member. I solved the install problems actually a few hours ago. sorry everyone for the multiple posts. i will try to watch what account i am using so it wont happen again. thanks, marvin

Hello Uwe, i sent a reply to the mail list that i had solved this but it didnt go through. It told me i wasnt a list member and i had to wait for the moderator. I am trying again so no one else answers. thank you, marvin

install problems

hi- i did a zip binary distribution for windows <http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/xotcl-1.1.0-win32-tcl8.4.5.zip> xotcl-1.1.0-win32-tcl8.4.5.zip my tcl directory was in c:\tcl . when the install took place it tried to put xotcl in c:\program files\tcl directory. since that is not where i originally installed tcl i copied the files with the file manager back over to c:\tcl and its subdirectories. i have an environment variable named tcllibpath that points to c:\tcl\lib\xotcl. i moved the 4 include files over to c:\tcl\include . the libxotcl1.1.dll resides now in my c:\tcl\lib directory. when i run this code in ASED it prints out "failure" as it is not loaded properly. I am using version 8.4. set fail [catch [load libxotcl.dll]] if {$fail} { puts "failure" } i wanted to expirement with xotcl. i have swig working and know a little c++ but i thought i'd try out this new way of doing things. please let me know if you can think of any tricks i am not thinking of to get this to load properly. i could reinstall TCL to c:\program files\tcl and then reinstall xotcl from the beginning zip file. Is that necessary? thanks marvin

Fwd: XOTcl 1.1.0 changes for Mac OS X
by Uwe Zdun 05 Dec '03

05 Dec '03

FYI, I forward this mail from Daniel A. Steffen <steffen(a)ics.mq.edu.au> because it seems we had a temporal problem with the mailing list. we will incorporate the changes for the next release of XOTcl --uwe ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: XOTcl 1.1.0 changes for Mac OS X Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2003 20:26:11 +1100 From: "Daniel A. Steffen" <steffen(a)ics.mq.edu.au> To: uwe.zdun(a)uni-essen.de, gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Cc: tcl-mac(a)lists.sourceforge.net Hi, the xotcl mailman url seems to be down at the moment, so I contact you directly and CC the tcl-mac mailing list with the new TEA compliant buildsystem in XOTcl 1.1.0 in can finally build xotcl against the Tcl.framework build on Mac OS X. I will thus integrate a binary in my next release of the batteries-included TclTkAqua distribution http://tcltkaqua.sf.net/ I had to make a number of changes, c.f. attached patch or http://rutherglen.ics.mq.edu.au/~steffen/tcltk/patches/xotcl.diff details on changes follow: the changes to 'predefined.xotcl' fix a generic xotcl bug: if symbols from the ::xotcl:: namespace have not been imported into the global namespace, [self] is not defined as a global proc, which causes a variety of operations to fail, e.g. renaming objects (i.e. Object instproc move) % package require XOTcl 1.1 % xotcl::Object o ::o $ rename o p invalid command name "self" % namespace import xotcl::* $ rename o p the fix is to replace all occurrences of [self] in predefined.xotcl by the fully qualified [::xotcl::self] the changes to 'Makefile.in' deal with two problems: 1) not all installation happens in DESTDIR, e.g. 'make install DESTDIR=/tmp/' fails to install everything under /tmp/ 2) a generic problem with TEA that affects extensions with stub libraries on platforms that require ranlib to be run on static libraries: when building a dynamic extension, RANLIB is set to : and thus ranlib is not run on the libxotclstub.a library the fix is to define a separate RANLIB_STUB in configure.in before RANLIB is reset to : and use that when building/installing the stub library. (This generic fix has been submitted as a bug to TEA as well) the other changes to configure.in are: 1) --with-tclinclude is defined by TEA to give the directory containing _public_ tcl headers, in particular this is needed on Mac OS X with the framework build: ./configure --with-tcl=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework --with-tclinclude=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers hence the check for tclInt.h in the tclinclude directory is invalid, since this is not a public header. the generic TEA machinery finding the tcl source directory takes care of finding a directory containing tclInt.h already, so I don't think this check is needed; if you want a configure option for the tcl private header directory anyway, it needs to be named something other than --with-tclinclude 2) the xotcl dynamic library needs to be linked with the tcl stub library on Mac OS X (and I suspect on other non-ELF platforms as well) otherwise the link fails due to undefined symbols from libtclstub, e.g. Tcl_InitStubs There is one remaining problem with your buildsystem that I haven't fixed: it is still not fully possible to configure&build from outside the xotcl/unix directory; the TEA bits work fine but not your custom code for building library, test, docs etc c.f. sample run below. you should use $(srcdir) to reference the source directory in the Makefile, and not assume that the Makefile is located in xotcl/unix, i.e. e.g. cd ../library; $(TCLSH_PROG) ./lib/make.xotcl -all will fail if configure has been run from somewhere other than xotcl/unix, use cd $(srcdir)../library; $(TCLSH_PROG) ./lib/make.xotcl -all instead. However, this is not sufficient since make.xotcl assumes relative directory locations as well It should be possible to configure & build from outside xotcl/unix such that the xotcl source directory is not modified at all, this is e.g. necessary for buildscripts that build for several platforms from a common shared source directory. I know that ActiveState builds their distribution in this way, and my TclTkAqua distribution buildscript needs this as well. I currently cheat by rsyncing xotcl/{library,doc,tests,apps} from the source into the build location before configuring, but this is a hack and should be dealt with properly in the Makefile instead...

XOTcl 1.1.0 publically available
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Dec '03

02 Dec '03

Dear XOTcl community, XOTcl 1.1.0 is now available from www.xotcl.org! Below is the full announcement text! best regards -gustaf neumann ======================================================================== Announcing XOTcl 1.1.0 ********************** WHAT IS XOTCL? XOTcl is an object-oriented extension of Tcl that was derived from OTcl. In short, XOTcl tries to provide a highly flexible, reflective, component-based, and object-oriented environment. It integrates language support for high level concepts which are not found in other languages, with reasonable performance. It prevails the Tcl programming style and the dynamic/introspective nature of the language, rather than introducing other language's styles and rigidness (such as C++) into Tcl. CHANGES relative to 1.0.2 are: - New functionality and improvements: * Transitive instmixins (thanks to a suggestion of Neophytos Demetriou): The new version supports a tree of mixins (mixins of mixins); when a mixin-class X has instmixins Y registered, and X is registered as instmixin for a class C, the mixin classes Y are applied to C as well. * Conditional mixins (thanks to a suggestion of Neophytos Demetriou): mixins and instmixins can have now guards similar to filters that define when they should be applied * New composition strategy for (filter- and mixin-)guards: when a guard is defined more than once for the same interceptor the most specific guard is used, the others are overridden. * Creation of sub-objects via parameter: XOTcl's parameter method supports now a switch named "-Class" which can be used to create and configure sub-objects (see tutorial for details) * New predefined method: __unknown This method is called, whenever XOTcl references a class, which is not defined yet (e.g.: Class C -superclass UNKNOWNCLASS) This method is used for Zoran's wonderful ttrace package (for aolserver and tcl-Threads) * Improved documentation: - extended tutorial (Meta-Classes, Tk, ...) - beautified tutorial (style files, distinction between literals and placeholders, ...) - fixed hundreds of typos * some speed improvements - fixes: * New build system: - per default no shells are built - new configure switches eg. --with-xotclsh, -with-actiweb --with-all * Fixes for https in connection with some versions of IE * Fixed a few issues with purify and mt (many thanks to Zoran!) * Fixes for proc-scoped variable in connections with mixins * Fixed passing of error codes from constructors * various small fixes and code cleanup - with newer versions of autoconf - various fixes for stubs - improved build under windows - starkit compliance (many thanks to MichaelL(a)frogware.com) For more details, please consult the ChangeLog MORE INFO General and more detailed information about XOTcl and its components can be found at http://www.xotcl.org Best regards, Gustaf Neumann Uwe Zdun -- Univ.Prof. Dr.Gustaf Neumann Abteilung für Wirtschaftsinformatik WU-Wien, Augasse 2-6, 1090 Wien

xotcl 1.1.0, tcl/tk 8.4.4 and freebsd 4.9 are not happy with each other

Hello all, I am trying to build xotcl 1.1.0 with tk/tcl8.4.4 from the ports tree on a freebsd 4.9 box and it is not working. The problem os that tk/tcl on freebsd is setup such that you can have mutpile version of tcl on the box at the same time and this breaks the build process. Here is my configure line: ./configure --with-all --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.4/ --with-tk=/usr/local/lib/tk8.4 --with-tkinclude=/usr/local/include/tk8.4 here is the output from gmake: $ gmake cc -DUSE_TCL_STUBS -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DVERSION=\"1.1\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DCOMPILE_XOTCL_STUBS=1 -DTCL_SHLIB_EXT=\".so\" -I/usr/ports/lang/tcl84/work/tcl8.4.4/generic -I/usr/ports/lang/tcl84/work/tcl8.4.4/unix -I"./../generic" -I"./../unix" -O -fPIC -g -DXOTCLVERSION=\"1.1\" -DXOTCLPATCHLEVEL=\".0\" -c `echo ../generic/xotcl.c` -o so/xotcl.o In file included from ../generic/xotcl.c:47: ../generic/xotclInt.h:15: tclInt.h: No such file or directory In file included from ../generic/xotclInt.h:16, from ../generic/xotcl.c:47: ../generic/xotcl.h:30: tcl.h: No such file or directory ../generic/xotcl.h:102: #error Tcl distribution is TOO OLD, we require at least tcl8.0 gmake: *** [so/xotcl.o] Error 1 $ Now the files that are "missing" are in /usr/local/include/tcl8.4: bogomips# cd ../tcl8.4 bogomips# ls generic tcl.h tclDecls.h tclPlatDecls.h unix bogomips# ls * tcl.h tclDecls.h tclPlatDecls.h generic: regcustom.h tclDecls.h tclMath.h regerrs.h tclIO.h tclPlatDecls.h regex.h tclInitScript.h tclPort.h regguts.h tclInt.h tclRegexp.h tcl.h tclIntDecls.h tclCompile.h tclIntPlatDecls.h unix: tclUnixPort.h tclUnixThrd.h so how hard would it be to add a --with-tclinclude ? Also I would need to do this for tclsh and wish(do I need to do wish?), on freebsd they are both shell scripts that tel you what you have installed not the real tclsh, like so: bogomips# tclsh In FreeBSD, tclsh is named with a version number. This is because different versions of tclsh are not compatible with each other and they can not all be called "tclsh"! You may need multiple versions installed because a given port may depend on a specific version. On your system, tclsh is installed under at least the following names: tclsh8.3 tclsh8.4 Thanks, marc
