Need Help with One-Click Installer & ActiveTcl

[Curt Hibbs]

I've never hidden the fact that I'm completely ignorant of TCL, but the last
round of changes to TCL support in the one-click installer were supposed to
allow for this. Of course, that doesn't mean I know how to do it. So, I am
forwarding this to ruby-talk, where the expertise lies.

The original question (from below) is:

I have installed the latest version of the Windows installer (RC9)
and I have ActiveState Tcl8.5 - what do I need to do to have Ruby use
ActiveState Tcl instead of the version bundled with it ?

Anyone have the answer?

Curt

Hi guys,

Can someone help my buddy Laurent with his question? (This might be an
appropriate FAQ as well).

thanks!

Hi Andy,

I posted this to the newsgroup but got no answer - I figured you
might possibly know about this:

I have installed the latest version of the Windows installer (RC9)
and I have ActiveState Tcl8.5 - what do I need to do to have Ruby use
ActiveState Tcl instead of the version bundled with it ?

TIA,

Compile tcltklib with ActiveTcl's libraries,
and replace tcltklib.so to re-compiled one.
Possibly, that is all.

Compile tcltklib with ActiveTcl's libraries,
and replace tcltklib.so to re-compiled one.
Possibly, that is all.

Complement::
If tcltklib.so is compiled with Tcl/Tk8.5 (original, not ActiveTcl),
the tcltklib.so is possibly available for ActiveTcl8.5.x.
For the same reason, tcltklib.so compiled with Tcl/Tk8.4.7 is
possibly available for ActiveTcl8.4.7.
Current tcltklib.so included in the installer (182-14_rc9) works
with Tcl/Tk8.3.x. So, 182-14_rc9 works with ActiveTcl8.3.x.

Note::
tcltklib on 182-14_rc9 has a bug when working with Tcl/Tk8.3.x
(see [ruby-talk:119637]).
