- The first of all, you need to have TCL libray. The lastest version is 8.5.x. You can install using your distro package managers, or you can download source/tarball in ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_5/ - Some distros not have last versions, and is recommended install it manualy. Some websites have specified distro packages Well.. if you can't upgrade via distro packages manager, here have how to compile the TCL library 1: Download the source/tarball 2: Extract the package 3: Go to the TCL compilation folder 4: Set the compile configuration If you haven't root access and want the eggdrop with tcl8.5 and can't use root, you can install TCL lib in your home dir, example: 5: Compile it using make 6: Not obrigated but recommended to use make test 7: Install the tcl - Use it command as root, but if you followed the example below the step 4, you won't need be a root =)
Done! you have the TCL library 8.5.4 --------------------- Well... now is time to compile the eggdrop 1: download the eggdrop source/tarball 2: Extract the package 3: Go to eggdrop dir 4: Set the compile configuration - In some cases i. e. when you have 2 tcl lib installed (8.4 and 8.5) will be necessary specify the TCL lib/include files and the most unix /usr/ is more priorized than /usr/local (where is the compiled programs) is the same case if you followed the example of step 4 in how to compile TCL. Then you will use as example The most of the case, the eggdrop not detect that the TCL is threaded and your eggdrop win't connect to IRC. If you got the following line on ./configure.. Then you will need edit the eggdrop.h using your favorite editor, example you will add the following macro: you can put it in the last lines, before the "#endif /* _EGG_EGGDROP_H */" you can put here, example: from: to: If you followed the example below the step 4 in how to compile TCL you will need set the 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=' to eggdrop works, you will set the lib dir where you tcl is installed, example: - Some unix shells you need do it every time that you login or your eggdrop won't run.. Well... resuming the steps... 5: Configure the modules 6: compile the eggdrop 7: install your eggdrop Done, your eggdrop is installed with the newer TCL version! Now enjoy!
