Tk Library Source Code

install.sh tries to copy from the base directory, not
the modules subdirectory, so cp does not find the
module directories:

daruma# ./install.sh
cp: cannot stat `base64/*.tcl': No such file or directory
[etc]

Fix: either cd to modules before the for loop, or
change the cp commands in the for loop from:

    cp -f $j/*.tcl $TCLINSTALL/lib/tcllib1.1/$j ; \
    cp -f $j/*.n   $TCLINSTALL/man/mann ; \

to:

    cp -f modules/$j/*.tcl $TCLINSTALL/lib/tcllib1.1/$j ; \
    cp -f modules/$j/*.n   $TCLINSTALL/man/mann ; \

The problem is that the release process as documented in 
the DOC section of this project is currently not in sync 
with what is done by 'make dist' as misses some important 
parts. But the script "mkInstallScripts.tcl" generates 
installation scripts for use with an archive generated 
by 'make dist' and not the release process.

Unfortunately 'make dist' is not without problems either 
(it does not take the examples into account).

Enlosed is now a patch which reworks the target 'make dist' 
so that it generates archives which contains both modules 
and examples (= where the directory structure is 
essentially a reduced variant of the raw directory 
structure instead of something completely different as 
currently, i.e. before this patch), wehere the generated 
install scripts are updated to deal with the new directory 
structure.

After application of this patch the release process is much 
simpler:

* Get tcllib from the tcllib CVS
* Get config from the tclpro CVS
* configure tcllib
* make dist
* Upload the generated archives.

Asssigned for Bob Techentin for review.

Bob, if this patch is ok IMHO we should regenerate the 1.1 
archives too to fix the problem they currently have. Maybe 
even only the installation scripts in them.

Note that this is also the case for INSTALL.BAT, which fails to install TclLib.
