Hi Catherine,
on Unix we have moved the build system as default to the style preferred by TEA: the shells are not built anymore by default. Instead it is advisable to load XOTcl dynamically into the ordinary tclsh or wish. I propose you simply use this style of using XOTcl as well:
% wish
package require XOTcl namespace import xotcl::*
the shells, if build (what is optional) now do nothing else than this.

Dear members of xotcl the list,
Has someone any experience in installing XOtcl on MacOsX ? I have found a "Portfile" but I don't know what to do with it?
Catherine,
isn't the Mac OS X Tcl/Tk Aqua 8.4.7 Release something for you to use, it contains XOTcl binaries.....

Thanks for the advice!
I have indeed installed the TclTkAquaBI and tried but it'svery complicated. I don't know whether you can help ?
- I need to build my own wish with shared objects (libtcl.dylib
etc...) which are not provided in TclTkAquaBI distribution - even using it together with the native Tcl.framework you don't have the *.h files etc...). So I decided to use the Fink tcl/tk distribution which works fine.
- Using the TclTkAquaBI (the one which includes xotcl-1.2) is also
not easy when you want to link an xotcl shared object (called /Library/Tcl/xotcl1.2/libxotcl1.2.dylib) First, because you need xotcl.h, so you have to download separately the sources that have been used for building the shared library (sources are kindly distributed from http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/8.4.7.html). Even using libxotcl.dylib file distributed in TclAquaBI not not make sense for a simple reason: if I need another package (such as BLT), which is not distributed in TclAquaBI, I will also have to compile it myself, which is very difficult when it is not configured for this purpose (blt is also distributed in Fink).
- So, sy conclusion was to compile Xotcl myself, which I did, I
think, successfully. configure; ./configure --with-tcl=/sw/lib --with-tclinclude=/sw/include --with-tk=/sw/lib --with-tkinclude=/sw/include
I just got errors when building xowish:
gcc -pipe -rdynamic -o xowish tkAppInit.o \ xotcl.o xotclError.o xotclMetaData.o xotclObjectData.o xotclProfile.o xotclTrace.o xotclUtil.o xotclShadow.o xotclCompile.o aolstub.o xotclStubInit.o \ -O3 -Wall -Wconversion -Wno-implicit-int -fno-common -L/sw/lib -ltcl8.4 \
gcc: unrecognized option `-rdynamic' ld: Undefined symbols: _Tk_Init _Tk_MainEx _Tk_SafeInit
Apparently also: ==> -ltk8.4 is missing ?
But xotclsh was successfully built.
- then, I built a very simple tkAppinit.c:
#include "tk.h" #include <xotcl.h> int main(argc, argv) int argc; /* Number of command-line arguments. */ char **argv; /* Values of command-line arguments. */ { Tk_Main(argc, argv, Tcl_AppInit); return 0; /* Needed only to prevent compiler warning. */ }
int Tcl_AppInit(interp) Tcl_Interp *interp; /* Interpreter for application. */ { if (Tcl_Init(interp) == TCL_ERROR) { return TCL_ERROR; } if (Tk_Init(interp) == TCL_ERROR) { return TCL_ERROR; } Tcl_StaticPackage(interp, "Tk", Tk_Init, Tk_SafeInit); if (Xotcl_Init(interp) == TCL_ERROR) { return TCL_ERROR; }
Tcl_Import(interp, Tcl_GetGlobalNamespace(interp), "xotcl::*", 1); if (Tcl_PkgRequire(interp, "XOTcl", XOTCLVERSION, 1) == NULL) { return TCL_ERROR; } return TCL_OK;}
I got an executable (miniwish) built with the following compile/link commands (with some warnings):
gcc -fno-common -DXOTCLVERSION="1.3.1" -c -I/sw/include -I/sw/include -I/usr/include/X11 -I/sw/include tkAppInit.c gcc -bind_at_load -o minibiokwish tkAppInit.o -L/sw/lib -ltk8.4 -L/sw/lib -ltcl8.4 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXmu -L/sw/lib/xotcl1.3.1 -lxotcl1.3.1 -lm ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _tclPlatStubsPtr /sw/lib/libtcl8.4.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _tclPlatStubsPtr /sw/lib/libtk8.4.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _tclPlatStubsPtr ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _tclIntStubsPtr /sw/lib/libtcl8.4.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _tclIntStubsPtr /sw/lib/libtk8.4.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _tclIntStubsPtr ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _Tcl_InitStubs /sw/lib/libtcl8.4.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _Tcl_InitStubs /sw/lib/libtk8.4.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _Tcl_InitStubs ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _tclIntPlatStubsPtr /sw/lib/libtcl8.4.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _tclIntPlatStubsPtr /sw/lib/libtk8.4.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _tclIntPlatStubsPtr ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _tclStubsPtr /sw/lib/libtcl8.4.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _tclStubsPtr /sw/lib/libtk8.4.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _tclStubsPtr /sw/lib/xotcl1.3.1/libxotcl1.3.1.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _tclPlatStubsPtr /sw/lib/xotcl1.3.1/libxotcl1.3.1.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _tclIntStubsPtr /sw/lib/xotcl1.3.1/libxotcl1.3.1.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _tclStubsPtr /sw/lib/xotcl1.3.1/libxotcl1.3.1.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _tclIntPlatStubsPtr /sw/lib/xotcl1.3.1/libxotcl1.3.1.dylib(tclStubLib.o) definition of _Tcl_InitStubs
But this executable does not work correctly:
./minibiokwish dyld: ./minibiokwish can't open library: libxotcl1.3.1.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) Trace/BPT trap
(executed from an X11 environment - not Aqua - of course).
