Hi,

I'm trying to build TkDND 2.0 to run under X11 on the Mac. I've had no
problem building TkDND 1.0 because it uses the standard configure, make,
make install procedure, but 2.0 appears to have a makefile that's
hard-coded. Is there a way to move TkDND over to the standard TEA
procedure, or at least to modify the makefile so that it will work with
my system?

I am sorry I haven't yet build a TEA makefile. I will do it.
However, even with a TEA makefile, tkdnd wan't work under Mac.
Only the windows OLE2 and unix XDND protocols are supported.
Is any of these supported under Mac? (i.e. are you running
some version of KDE/Gnome desktops?)

Yes--I mentioned that I was building it to run under X, not the native
Aqua environment. Tcl/Tk builds and runs fine in the Mac's X11
environment. Apple ships a full implementation of X11 that integrates
with the Aqua environment--see http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/.

Thanks for the update onn the TEA makefile.

Dear Kevin,

I have added TEA 3.5 support in TkDND. You can find the
Alpha 5 release at:

http://www.ellogon.org/petasis/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=31&Itemid=37
http://www.ellogon.org/petasis/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=52&Itemid=37

Perhaps irrelevant, but I want to comment that TEA 3.5 is so easy to
use, that it took me a few minutes to adapt the configure/makefile files
from the sample extension. It made me wonder why I spent time to write
these awfull makefiles that ran only on my system in the first place :-)
TEA 3.5 is very good!

George
