FYI, I forward this mail from Daniel A. Steffen steffen@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

Subject: XOTcl 1.1.0 changes for Mac OS X Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2003 20:26:11 +1100 From: "Daniel A. Steffen" steffen@ics.mq.edu.au To: uwe.zdun@uni-essen.de, gustaf.neumann@wu-wien.ac.at Cc: tcl-mac@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...

Cheers,

Daniel
