Compilation

This is the installation manual of Tcl-Trf 1.8p2, as of May 23, 2000. For a documentation of the available commands you should read the command reference.

Before starting the compilation and installation a few notes:

  • You have managed to unpack this package in a directory of your choice, whether it was gzipped tar-archive or a zip-archive. The path of the file you are reading now is something like .../trf1.8p2/doc/install.?. The .../trf1.8p2-part of it is that we will call the source-directory from now on.

This package depends in its operation on quite a few others. Here is a list of them:

tcl

of course. The package will compile with 7.6, 8.0 and 8.1a2. The versions 8.0a1/a2/b1/b2 cannot be used anymore.

This package requires manipulation of the core for full functionality. If you can live without filter channels no patching is required. In case you want patch tcl, a source distribution is necessary. Instructions on how to patch it is provided in a separate chapter

Memchan

Trf can be used without, but the testsuite coming with this distribution requires it.

The current version is 1.5. A binary distribution for Win32 is available.

zlib

This package is used to implement the zip compression command/filter. It will be loaded at runtime, if required and is therefore optional. See the description of the zip command for more info.

SSLeay

This library is used to realize the message digests 'md2' and 'sha1'. It will be loaded at runtime, if required and is therefore optional. Please read the SSLeay section for more info.
