Finally got it all compiled. I figured out what the problemwas, see below <snip> > I just renamed these function in there modules prepending a Tk. Then > compile worked just fine but when it came to link the dll I got > thousands of unresolved externals from tcl like > tkWindow.o: In function `Initialize': > //z/STS/TCU/thirdparty/WinNT/tk8.1/win/./../generic/tkWindow.c:2717: > undefined reference to `_imp__Tcl_PkgRequire' > //z/STS/TCU/thirdparty/WinNT/tk8.1/win/./../generic/tkWindow.c:2721: > undefined reference to `_imp__Tcl_GetThreadData' This was because of a bug in tcl.h (same was in tk.h) together whenusing -DUSE_TCL_STUBS. In tcl.h there is defined the TCL_STORAGE_CLASS macro at the top like: #ifdef BUILD_tcl # define TCL_STORAGE_CLASS DLLEXPORT #else # ifdef USE_TCL_STUBS # define TCL_STORAGE_CLASS # else # define TCL_STORAGE_CLASS DLLIMPORT # endif #endif That seems very correct. But at the end of tcl.h there was: #undef TCL_STORAGE_CLASS #define TCL_STORAGE_CLASS EXTERN int Tcl_AppInit _ANSI_ARGS_((Tcl_Interp *interp)); #endif /* RESOURCE_INCLUDED */ #undef TCL_STORAGE_CLASS #define TCL_STORAGE_CLASS DLLIMPORT As I understood, to define the Tcl_AppInit TCL_STORAGE_CLASS must not be defined. That's ok, but redefining TCL_STORAGE_CLASS after that looked wrong for me, as it should be as in the top of the file. So I changed it like in the top. Then I was able to build wish with just linking against the stub library and no undefined reference occured. > I figured out that this was due to the missing -ltcl81 in the buildline > for the libtk81.dll. So I added that and then ... everything compiled > ok. Then I installed everything in a temporary directory and tried to > run it. tclsh81.exe semmed to be ok but when I ran wish81.exe I got > a core. Loaded wish81.exe into gdb and run it. Following the output: <snip> Ok this was obviously the wrong approach linking with -ltcl81 and stub lib together and was the reason for the core to happen. I now can run it ok. But a another little problem occured. There is no console input after I started wish81.exe. When I start the cygwish80.exe coming with b20.1 a console window pops up. I examined code again and found the problem to be in tk8.1/win/winMain.c. There are two entry points in there, one is main() and the other is WinMain(). If main() is called (what is obviously done by cygwin) then before Tk_Main() is called a variable consoleRequired is set to FALSE. If I start wish81.exe in gdb and set this variable to TRUE before call to Tk_Main() a console window pops up. In WinMain() the consoleRequired is TRUE before call to Tk_Main(). My question is now, what to do: 1.) change code in main() for cygwin to set consoleRequired to TRUE 2.) Find a possibility to get WinMain be called (Any advise) Can anybody help me on this?
