From: Wolfgang0815 on 28 Sep 2006 15:33 Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to install Tcl and Expect in MinGW. My further goal is to build Dejagnu and then to run the gcc test-procedure. Unfortunately I'm a newbie to this and not used to handle things like configure-scripts etc. Here is what happened: * Started with: Win2kSP4 (never touched by MinGW & Co before) * Execute MinGW-5.0.3.exe, which installs previously downloaded files to "C:\MinGW": * binutils-2.15.91-20040904-1.tar.gz * gcc-ada-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz * gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz * gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz * gcc-g77-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz * gcc-java-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz * gcc-objc-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz * mingw32-make-3.80.0-3.tar.gz * mingw-runtime-3.10.tar.gz * w32api-3.7.tar.gz * Execute MSys-1.0.10.exe, which installs itself into "C:\msys\1.0". After that "post install": * "Do you have MinGW installed?" -> "y" * "Where is your MinGW installation?" -> "C:/MinGW" * "You do not have C:/MinGW/bin/make.exe. Keep it that way." * Start MSYS * Execute "cd tcl8.5a4/win/" * Execute "./configure --prefix=/mingw" * Execute "make" * Execute "make install" * Execute "make test" Here occur some errors (I only quote the lines describing the errors): ---------------------------------------------------------------- ==== clock-49.2 regression test - missing time zone file (Bug 1237907) FAILED ==== Contents of test case: list [::tcl::clock::GuessWindowsTimeZone] [clock format 0 -locale system -format "%X %Z"] [clock format -86400 -format "%Y"] ---- Result was: <-0500>+05:00:00<-0400>+04:00:00,M4.1.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/02:00:00 { 7:00:00 NACHM. -0500} 1969 ---- Result should have been (exact matching): <-0500>+05:00:00<-0400>+04:00:00,M4.1.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/02:00:00 { 7:00:00 PM -0500} 1969 ==== clock-49.2 FAILED - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ==== winFile-4.0 Enhanced NTFS user/group permissions: test no acccess FAILED ==== Contents of test case: # Clean out all well-known ACLs catch {cacls $fname /E /R "Everyone"} result catch {cacls $fname /E /R $user} result catch {cacls $fname /E /R $owner} result cacls $fname /E /P $user:N test_access $fname 0 0 ---- Test setup failed: getuser: Owner not found in output of dir/q ---- errorInfo(setup): getuser: Owner not found in output of dir/q while executing "error "getuser: Owner not found in output of dir/q"" (procedure "getuser" line 17) invoked from within "getuser $fname" invoked from within "set owner [getuser $fname]" ("uplevel" body line 2) invoked from within "uplevel 1 $setup" ---- errorCode(setup): NONE ==== winFile-4.0 FAILED - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - all.tcl: Total 22484 Passed 21649 Skipped 833 Failed 2 Sourced 134 Test Files.

I also found this article: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_thread/thread/924e0197f82edc21/2faf2e3169396929 This describes a similar problem, but I don't understand everything of that. Does anyone know how to build and install Tcl and Expect (and maybe Dejagnu) in MinGW? Thanks in advance for any help! Sorry for my crappy english! Wolfgang

I'd suggest that you go to the tcl source tree, and in the "win" subdirectory, create a subdir called MingW (or similar). Then, cd into the MingW subdir (under the "win" directory), and execute: (eg: in the ./Tcl/tcl8.4.13/win/MingW subdir) ../configure You may have to specify additional params (for includes, target etc), but once you get configure running to completion and Tcl installed, you're off to the races ... I typically build on FreeBSD using the ports X development system for MingW, and your mileage may differ, but in the past I've used MSYS to compile and link a tcl/tk successfully on a windows box directly. HTH: good luck.

For whatever it's worth, the bug is in the test suite, and not in [clock] - it's failed to set up a complete simulation for the 'system' locale, and it's getting Vormittag and Nachmittag instead of A.M. and P.M. -- 73 de ke9tv/2, Kevin

The source for the *working* windows port is available here: ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/incoming/expect-src.zip It works with Tcl 8.4 and 8.5. It does not contain a GNU style Makefile.in and configure script. It could build with MinGW as the code builds a real native extension, if one added them. That code also has not been merged with the official source.. Or you could just get the latest ActiveTcl distro, and you get an already built binary all ready to go. http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActiveTcl/ - -- David Gravereaux <davygrvy(a)pobox.com> [species:human; planet:earth,milkyway(western spiral arm),alpha sector] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQFFH+FWlZadkQh/RmERAsRnAJ9LYytSBtFzALVOriwL1DJUQFkv9gCgmRav OknvPRuT6VTSTT9pXqlscmU= =ZD5u -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Hi everyone, > Please log a bug about clock-49.2 at SourceForge. Done. Now, as I realized I was using development versions, I changed to tcl8.4.13-src.tar.gz. With this the following happened: * Execute "cd /tcl8.4.13/win/" * Execute "./configure --prefix=/mingw" * Execute "make" * Execute "make install" * Execute "make test" * Execute "cd ../../expect-5.43/" * Execute "./configure --prefix=/mingw --with-tclinclude=/home/Administrator/tcl8.4.13/generic/" All this works out fine without errors.
