Compilation problems - Tcl

kengwit · Post by **kengwit** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 7:04 pm

I'm trying to compile the "tcl" project, but I'm getting a bunch of errors shown below (only partial). I'm using Visual C++ 2005. What's going on?

Thanks.

You seem to have the wrong Tcl Version, it has to be 8.4 and has the following flag for compilation

/D "_TCL84"

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I did set the include path to tcl8.4. I am using ActiveTcl 8.4.17.0.

The preprocessor _TCL84 is also there.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

For some reason, the problem went away after I installed the new visual C++ 9.0. I think the earlier C++ installation was not done properly.
