Sorry. I could not find a place to post questions. I am not sure if this is the right place.

I am trying to build a threaded executable using tclkit but I am not able to compile or find a threaded tclkit for linux-x86_64.

When I try to use kitgen it fails with the errors below.

Is everyone having this problem and that is why the tclkit at http://code.google.com/p/tclkit/ are non-threaded?

Any pointers on how to solve this or any other tool that I should use to do this?

I was able to generate a non-threaded one but I can not generate a threaded version.

I followed the steps in the page: https://github.com/patthoyts/kitgen

I ran config.sh on the kitgen directory as: sh config.sh 8.5/linux-x86_64 thread mk b64 dyn

I have tried the following TCL/TK packages with the same results:

tk8.5.9-src.tar.gz tcl8.5.9-src.tar.gz

tk8.5.8-src.tar.gz tcl8.5.8-src.tar.gz

tcl8.5.2-src.tar.gz tk8.5.2-src.tar.gz

I am getting the errors below. They all seems to be in the 8.x directory.

linux-x86_64 $ make > make.log ../../../../8.x/thread/generic/threadPoolCmd.c: In function TpoolWaitObjCmd': ../../../../8.x/thread/generic/threadPoolCmd.c:533: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size ../../../../8.x/thread/generic/threadPoolCmd.c: In functionTpoolGetObjCmd': ../../../../8.x/thread/generic/threadPoolCmd.c:743: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size ../../../../8.x/thread/generic/threadPoolCmd.c: In function TpoolWorker': ../../../../8.x/thread/generic/threadPoolCmd.c:1223: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size ../../../../8.x/vqtcl/generic/vlerq.c: In functionCoerceColumn': ../../../../8.x/vqtcl/generic/vlerq.c:1273: warning: 'seq' might be used uninitialized in this function ../../kitInit.c: In function `TclKitPathObjCmd': ../../kitInit.c:337: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type make: ./kit-cli: Command not found make: * [tclkit-dyn] Error 127

Thanks in advancce.

I just hit that. I think it's because you don't have '.' in your PATH.

export PATH=.:$PATH

got me past that point. But then it stops with:

cp kitsh tclkit && strip tclkit && tclkit application-specific initialization failed: /home/dfountain/dev/third_party/kitgen/patthoyts-kitgen-0602b4f/8.5/linux-ix86/tclkit has no VFS data to start up %

Typing "exit" to get away from the prompt each time it happens seems to allow the build to progress, but I'm not sure if the resultant Tclkit is properly executable.

I really want to build on MacOSX, but that stops pretty much immediately with no such file or directory errors about stdarg.h and float.h.

It seems it's all a bit fragile and there's apparently nowhere to ask for help. :(

I bought a license from ActiveState and I am using their tclkits. I spent too much time on this and could not find a way to get this to work on my own and as you mentioned I could not find a good place to get help either. :(

I have a similar problem when trying to build kitgen for solaris-sparc (SunOS 5.10). My 'make' stops with
