To install TclCurl in Windows you simply have to double-click on the 'SetUp.tcl'
|
|
file, provided you already have Tcl/Tk installed, the script will take care of
|
|
everything.
|
|
|
|
By the way, Tcl's console doesn't seem to like the output sent by TclCurl,
|
|
for example, if you type:
|
|
|
|
curl::transfer -url www.scriptics.com
|
|
|
|
you will only get an error, you will have to dump it to a file with the
|
|
'file' option, read it in to a variable with 'bodyvar', use Cygwin's console
|
|
or use tkCon from msys-mingw.

Compiling TclCurl in Windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
First of all a little disclaimer:
|
|
|
|
I know nothing about Windows programming, no kidding, not a thing,
|
|
zip, zilch, nada. I can barely manage using tools, like Tcl/Tk and
|
|
gcc, whose origin is in the Unix world, but that is just about it, so
|
|
if you think that the following is just plain stupid, that is because
|
|
it probably is, but in that case, don't forget to tell me all about it.
|
|
|
|
To compile TclCurl in Windows you are going to need several things:
|
|
|
|
- A msys-mingw enviroment, you can get it at SourceForge:
|
|
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/
|
|
|
|
or you can get MinGW and Msys from their project page:
|
|
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/
|
|
|
|
- Since you are already at Tcl's page at SF, you can download the
|
|
lastest Tcl version, 8.4.13 at this writing. (These instructions won't
|
|
work with 8.3.x versions)
|
|
|
|
- Download zlib from http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
|
|
|
|
- Download bc from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bc.htm and
|
|
install it.
|
|
|
|
- Extract Tcl, cURL, zlib and TclCurl in the same directory.
|
|
|
|
- Copy the 'tclcurl.mk' file in TclCurl/packages/windows to this directory.
|
|
|
|
- Start msys, go to the directory and type:
|
|
|
|
$ make -f tclcurl.mk tclcurl-plain
|
|
|
|
This command will compile and install Tcl, zlib, cURL and TclCurl, if
|
|
you want to have Tk though, you will have to install it yourself.
|
|
|
|
After compiling and installing all the elements, the make file will
|
|
try to create the self-extracting archive using 'rar', if you don't
|
|
have it installed it will fail, but don't worry, everything is already
|
|
installed. If you have rar and you want to create the archives, don't
|
|
forget to change the path at the end of the make file.
|
|
|
|
- If you want to use TclCurl with the Tcl/Tk you have installed in
|
|
c:\Program Files or anywhere else, copy the directory
|
|
'/usr/local/lib/tclcurl0.110' to 'c:\Program Files\Tcl\lib'
|
|
|
|
- And now you should have a working TclCurl, run Tcl/Tk and type:
|
|
|
|
$ package require TclCurl.
|
|
|
|
Tcl should return TclCurl's version, if it doesn't something went wrong,
|
|
could you please tell me?
|
|
|
|
- Wish console doesn't really like TclCurl, so if you do:
|
|
|
|
$ curl::transfer -url slashdot.org
|
|
|
|
It will return a '0' to tell you that the transfer was successful, but it will
|
|
show you nothing, you will have to dump the page into a file to be able to read
|
|
it or use Cygwin's console.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compiling TclCurl with threads support
|
|
|
|
You have to do basically the same thing, except that the command to compile is:
|
|
|
|
$ make -f tclcurl.mk tclcurl-threaded
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compiling TclCurl with SSL support
|
|
|
|
Since 1.0.0 openssl is easier to compile, you can find the instructions to it in
|
|
the INSTALL.W32 file in the openssl tarball.
|
|
|
|
You can get the cacert.pem at http://curl.haxx.se/ca/, you need to put in the
|
|
directory from which you are going to compile
|
|
|
|
- $ make -f tclcurl.mk tclcurl-ssl
|
|
|
|
- If you want to have threads support:
|
|
|
|
- $ make -f tclcurl.mk tclcurl-threaded-ssl
|
|
|
|
Sounds like a lot of work to run a little extension, but then again, you could
|
|
have downloaded the self-extracting archive file.
