Hello,

I need to compile TCL/TK with g++. What is the easiest way to change it?
I have the tk3.6.c++.patch file but it still doesnt work.
How do I have to change the libtcl.a?

Thanks for writing.

You shouldn't need to change a thing. If you have g++ then you have gcc
and you can compile tcl/tk. The header files are compiler sensitive and
automatically insert the text required for g++ to use the C routines in
the libraries. An excellent example is ical which is written in C++ but
use the appropriate tcl/tk calls without problem.

I'd switch to the latest releases: Tcl 7.4/Tk 4.0, which work better
with C++.

Why do you need to compile tcl/tk with g++?  I haven't met a single
C++ compiler yet (g++ included) that couldn't invoke C functions
seamlessly.

I've had no problems creating C++ programs that use libtcl, either
staticly, shared, or dynamically.
