Guidelines to port tcl on vxworks (wind kernel)

[bhatt.a...@gmail.com]

Hi friends,

I am new to tcl and am trying to port tcl on vxworks (wind kernel) or
in other words,I wanted to run tcl script on target shell.

I have searched on web and didnt got any information on it.

Any pointers/guideline how it can be done (porting of tcl on vxworks)
will be helpful.

Thanking all of you in advance

I know nothing about vxworks, so take advice with a grain of salt.

Get the Tcl source code, either the stable Tcl 8.4.13 line or the
alpha/development Tcl 8.5a version to work on, depending on what you need.

But if you want to port Tcl to vxworks take a look at the source subdirs:
unix and compat

In the unix subdir you find files for use with autoconf and the other
GNU tools, don't know how supported those are for vxworks.

You probably have to edit the tcl.m4 file to add support for vxworks,
maybe some further tweaks to configure.in, makefile.in and some of the
compat files.

You could also ask on the Tclcore mailing list, porting questions are
appropriate there, but comp.lang.tcl is good as well.

There was an older Port for vxworks but i have no further information
about it, see this ancient page:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/258

* You might try comp.os.vxworks *

To clarify :

Do you want to port TCL's source code to VxWorks OR do you
want to run a TCL script using the tcl shell on VxWorks?

If it is the second then:

You probably need to ask specific questions on what issues you have.
And to help us help you should include the version of TCL that VxWorks
is using as its shell.
