Hi,
Hi Jim, sorry for the delayed answer, i was last week on vacation.
Last month I reported three bugs in the configure step of the xotcl
you mean last week? well, last week is also last month, just to remove disambiguity, i have received no earlier mails from you.
build process. While I was reporting those bugs and for a few days after, I was working on my mail, and so turned off the list's replying to me at first.
Is there a different way to report bugs? Could someone tell me the status of these bugs? Would anyone like copies of the bug reports sent to them?
as uwe pointed out, we have since last week serious hardware problems on our webserver.
i have received four mails from concerning a) the aolserver, and b) tclsh without path.
concerning (a) you are right, determining to build with AOLserver from the `pwd` is not pretty, also the hardwired path to the AOLserver include directory. i have changed that right now. note, that making an aolserver module is only an issue for AOLserver 3.*, the AOLserver 4* series does not require this at all. Therefore, i have named the configure switch --with-aolserver3=AOL_INCLUDE_DIR where you have to specify the include directory.
Concerning the second problem, you wrote:
When configuring xotcl to build with a tcl which is not the system tcl, the configure step assumes the tclsh in the $PATH, which is a wrong assumption.
The right assumption would be to choose the tclsh located in the tclConfig.sh.
Doing this would ensure the builder will get the tclsh which is in the installation of tcl he/she specified.
well, can you be more specific, where this happens? XOTcl uses in configure.in SC_PROC_TCLSH and uses in all the Makefiles $TCLSH_PROG as far i can see. What version of xotcl are you working with?
