<HTML> <TITLE> Building Tcl Blend under UNIX/Linux </TITLE> <BODY> <HR> <H3> Building Tcl Blend under UNIX/Linux </H3> <HR> <DL> <DT> <H3> About: </H3> </DT> <DD> <P> Tcl Blend is built using a <code>configure</code> script and has been tested on a variety of UNIX/Linux systems. Tcl Blend depends on Tcl and the Tcl Threads extension. Most Unix systems ship with Tcl installed by default, but Tcl thread support is not typically enabled. Tcl Blend requires a version of Tcl that is compiled with Thread support, so you will need to compile Tcl, the Tcl Thread extension, and Tcl Blend. </P> <P> Download <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894"> Tcl (8.4.13) </A> , the <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894"> Tcl Threads package (2.6.3) </A> , and the <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13005"> Tcl Blend (1.4.0) </A> archive files and save them in a temp directory. The following assumes that the user has created a temp directory <code>/tmp/tclblend</code>, that the archives have been saved in this directory, that Tcl Blend will be installed into <code>/opt/tclblend</code>, and that the JDK install is located in <code>/opt/jdk14</code>. <blockquote> <pre> <code> cd /tmp/tclblend tar -xzvf tcl8.4.13-src.tar.gz tar -xzvf thread2.6.3.tar.gz tar -xzvf tclBlend1.4.0.tar.gz mkdir build_tcl mkdir build_thread mkdir build_tclblend cd build_tcl ../tcl8.4.13/unix/configure --prefix=/opt/tclblend --enable-threads make make install cd .. cd build_thread ../thread2.6.3/configure --prefix=/opt/tclblend --enable-threads \ --with-tcl=/tmp/tclblend/build_tcl make make install cd .. cd build_tclblend ../tclBlend1.4.0/configure --prefix=/opt/tclblend \ --with-tcl=/tmp/tclblend/build_tcl --with-thread=/tmp/tclblend/build_thread \ --with-jdk=/opt/jdk14 make make install </pre> </code> </blockquote> </p> <p> At this point, Tcl, the Thread extension, and Tcl Blend have been installed into <code>/opt/tclblend</code>. One can also build and run the optional Tcl Blend regression tests with the following command. <blockquote> <pre> <code> make test </code> </pre> </blockquote> </p> <p> The install process creates a startup script that should be used to run Tcl Blend. This script is named <code>jtclsh</code>, it would be installed into <code>/opt/tclblend/bin/jtclsh</code> by the example above. </p> <blockquote> <pre> <code> /opt/tclblend/bin/jtclsh % package require java 1.4.0 % exit </code> </pre> </blockquote> </p> <H4>Installed Files</H4> <p> <ul> <li> <code>jtclsh</code> : Startup script for Tcl Blend </li> <br> <li> <code>tcljava.jar</code> : Files common to both Jacl and Tcl Blend </li> <li> <code>tclblend.jar</code> : Files specific to Tcl Blend </li> <li> <code>libtclblend.so</code> : Shared library for Tcl Blend </li> </ul> </p> </DD> </DL> </BODY> </HTML>
