Re: tclobj, problem

[Paul E. Johnson]

I've installed it on redhat 5.1.  There is a secret bomb waiting
there, and I was wondering when it would show up!

Redhat 5.1 put the objective c stuff for EGCS in that distribution,
not with the gcc they provide. Hence, to compile tclobjc and swarm,
you have to change the CC line in the make files from gcc to egcs.

I install packages in /swarm/packages now, and the tclobjc is in there. 
With redhat5.1 it is nicer because they already have the good tcl/tk,
so you don't have to upgrade that, and most things work as described
in the online faq (http://valinux.pols.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/SwarmFaq.html)

Incidentally, the command ./configure --prefix=/swarm/packages/tclobjc-1.3
ended  with a Makefile that looks like this, except I replaced gcc with
egcs:



SHELL = /bin/sh

#### Start of system configuration section. ####

srcdir = .

CC = egcs
RANLIB = ranlib
INSTALL = /usr/bin/install -c
INSTALL_PROGRAM = ${INSTALL}
INSTALL_DATA = ${INSTALL} -m 644

DEFS =  -DHAVE_LIBOBJC=1 -DHAVE_OBJC_MALLOC=1

# All these are optional.  You can redefine CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and
# INCLUDEFLAGS on the command line however you like.
CFLAGS = -Wall -Wno-implicit -g -O
CPPFLAGS =
INCLUDEFLAGS =

prefix = /swarm/packages/tclobjc-1.3
exec_prefix = $(prefix)


# Installation locations
libdir = $(exec_prefix)/lib
includedir = $(prefix)/include
infodir = $(prefix)/info

#### End of system configuration section. ####

TCLOBJC_VERSION = 1.3

ALL_INCLUDE_FLAGS = -I. -I$(srcdir) $(INCLUDEFLAGS) \
        $(TCL_INCLUDE_FLAGS) $(TK_INCLUDE_FLAGS) \
        $(X_INCLUDE_FLAGS) $(READLINE_INCLUDE_FLAGS)
ALL_CPPFLAGS = $(ALL_INCLUDE_FLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS)
ALL_CFLAGS = $(CFLAGS)
ALL_OBJCFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -Wno-protocol

# definitions to be passed to subdir Makefile's
MAKEDEFINES = CC='$(CC)' CFLAGS='$(CFLAGS)' CPPFLAGS='$(CPPFLAGS)' \

and so forth
