tcl/tk 8.4.5 hp11 tbcload Tclpro procomp -- Error: variable " " already ex
|

| Building on HP11 tcl/tk 8.4.5
Application was compiled with TclPro procomp
When starting up a Tk application which has been compiled, globals are
set up by non-compiled code. When compiled modules attempt to
reference a global, warning messages are displayed "Error: variable
"whatever" already exists".
This application runs fine when not using tbc, with Tcl/Tk 8.2.3, and
with 8.4.5 binary distribution.
Has anyone seen this type of error? I'm assuming the source
distribution I have is missing a patch. Where can I find patches?
Thanks,
Mike

That bug, or one very similar to that came up about.. almost 2 years ago,
I think. The source for tbcload of the tclpro project on sourceforge has
this fixed. All you need to do is rebuild a new tbcload so it can work in
8.4
IIRC, it has to do with a changed bytecode operation from 8.3->8.4 which
one never sees on the outside, but tbcload does see it.

Thanks David, we'll check out tclpro.
