Hello,

This is an announcement of DQkit version 0.8. The main changes are
upgraded Tcl (to 8.4.12), thread extension (to 2.6.3), tktreectrl (to 2.1)
and moving to sqlite3 (3.3.4).

DQkit is a "batteries included" tclkit-like binary Tcl/Tk static linked
distribution compiled with and without threads
including:

* TLS/OpenSSL (no external dependencies)
* BLT
* Itcl/Itk
* tbcload/tclcompiler
* treectrl 2.1
* Tclx
* sqlite3 3.3.4
* tdom 0.8.0
* Tktable 2.8
* Thread 2.6.3
* tcludp

Both source code and binary versions for win32, linux-x86 and
solaris-sparc are available for download at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dqsoftware/.

Files with MT are multithreaded, with ST are singlethreaded. Please check
all four versions (all, gui, console, tiny) for the packages they include.

Hello again,

Forgot to mention - dqkit now includes tile (0.7.2) on all (currently
three) platforms. And on solaris, it does not include tclx and tcludp
(some larger build issues).

Let me know the details for the tcldup problems. As far as I am
concerned it builds on solaris (I have a solaris 10 box to try it on).

From tcludp logs:
(...)
checking system version (for dynamic loading)... SunOS-5.9
checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes
checking for ar... ar
checking for required early compiler flags... none
checking for 64-bit integer type... long long
checking for struct dirent64... yes
checking for struct stat64... yes
checking for off64_t... yes
checking for build with symbols... no
checking for dtplite... ../../../src/tcludp-1.0.7/configure: test: too
many arguments
configure: error: No dtplite program found

That (SF compile farm) box does not have dtplite
no dtplite in /home/users/z/zo/zoro2/local/sparc-solaris2/bin /usr/bin
/bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin
I'll probably remove that from configure script since I don't build the
docs anyway.

Also for tclx, I think I managed to find the problem - configure defined
HAVE_NET_ERRNO_H while there is no /usr/include/net/errno.h. So both
tcludp and tclx will get built on Solaris for next dqkit release.

OK So a non-critical error barfing it up then. I should check for this

Yes, that would probably be the best solution to that. Anyway, I got that
to work so when I have some time I'll make a solaris version with those
two included. I'll also try to add expect in, since I use it more often
nowadays.

I'm interested in a multi-threaded BLT build for windows. Do you know
where i can obtain a binary distribution of just the BLT dll? Better
yet, do you have instructions/documentation on how to build the BLT
library (windows version) so that it can be loaded in wish84t.exe
(multithreaded version of wish)?

I'll check out your DQKit as well... thank you.

Grab mingw from tcl project on sourceforge, cygwin, build tcl+tk+blt with
it and it should work. I noticed Tcl needs to be compiled using the same
tool as blt.

No problem.
