Is there any way to get the xotcl c-interface files (the .h/.lib files) that correspond to the version of XOTcl that ships with the ActiveState release? They're not present in the distribution.

Hmmm, well, we don't keep those around. With the number of binary extensions in ActiveTcl, we made a decision a few years ago to save space by not keeping around the dev bits. I understand that they would be useful to a small percentage of users, but we haven't figured out any way to easily automate the handling of dev bits separate from user bits.

Perhaps it would make sense to break the download into two parts, a runtime environment and an SDK. I'm unsure what other extensions have a binary interface, but for XOTcl (at least) all that needs to be shipped is a couple of headers and the stubs lib. It seems equivalent to Tcl proper. In fact, perhaps even the base Tcl libs/headers ought to be in an SDK package. I'd think than many, perhaps even a majority of, users don't need the Tcl headers & libs.
But if it's not there, it's not there. Oh well, back to building my own version.

Another option is to use the windows binary version built with MinGE provided by Martin Matuska at
This verison contains the stublib and header files.
