TIP #34: Modernize TEA build system.
Mo
I have just finished up a major revision of TIP 34, the
TEA overhaul tip.
http://tcl.activestate.com/cgi-bin/tct/tip/34.html
Any comments would be appreciated.
thanks

Small comment, but kind of lofty...
Add Borland C++ Builder 5.5 and Watcom 11.0c to the list of supported compilers
on windows. Maybe Lcc-Win32, too.
Maybe if we work real hard, we can build a protected-mode DOS shell, too, with
the Watcom compiler :) New as of Friday! http://www.openwatcom.org

That is easier said than done. The only compilers currently supported
by the TEA based build under Windows are gcc and VC++. I would be
interested in finding out what changes or macros would be needed
to add more though.

Why don't you just use gcc? http://www.mingw.org

I know! That's like me saying "Oh, just merge Gordon's ExpectNT into the HEAD
code for Expect" :)

There's makefile.bc, which for now is just minimally changed from makefile.vc,
the edits should be clear. I have no clue how to do any autoconf macros for it
though. I wouldn't have any idea where to start. I'm a bit busy with other
stuff, but would love to help in about a months time.

djgpp would do DOS... how hard would it be to get the one working? Someone did
give me the code that'll need to change. We'll need a new dos/ platform
directory. With djgpp it might better be called dos-posix or something similar.
