- Notes about MoreFiles, dnr.c & other non-Tcl source files
- ---------------------------------------------------------

- The Macintosh distribution uses several source files that don't
- actually ship with Tcl. This sometimes causes problems or confusion
- to developers. This document should help clear up a few things.
- dnr.c
- -----
- We have found a way to work around some bugs in dnr.c that
- Apple has never fixed even though we sent in numerous bug reports.
- The file tclMacDNR.c simply set's some #pragma's and the includes
- the Apple dnr.c file. This should work the problems that many of
- you have reported with dnr.c.
- More Files
- ----------
- Macintosh Tcl/Tk also uses Jim Luther's very useful package called
- More Files. More Files fixes many of the broken or underfunctional
- parts of the file system.
- More Files can be found on the MetroWerks CD and Developer CD from
- Apple. You can also down load the latest version from:
- ftp://members.aol.com/JumpLong/
- The package can also be found at the home of Tcl/Tk for the mac:
- ftp://ftp.sunlabs.com/pub/tcl/mac/
- I used to just link the More Files library in the Tcl projects.
- However, this caused problems when libraries wern't matched correctly.
- I'm now including the files in the Tcl project directly. This
- solves the problem of missmatched libraries - but may not always
- compile.
- If you get a compiliation error in MoreFiles you need to contact
- Jim Luther. His email address:
- JumpLong@aol.com
- The version of More Files that we use with Tcl/Tk is 1.4.3. Early
- version may work as well..
- Unfortunantly, there is one bug in his library (in 1.4.3). The bug is
- in the function FSpGetFullPath found in the file FullPath.c. After
- the call to PBGetCatInfoSync you need to change the line:
- if ( result == noErr )
- to:
- if ( (result == noErr) || (result == fnfErr) )
- The latest version of More Files is 1.4.6. Unfortunantly, this
- version has a bug that keeps it from working with shared libraries
- right out of the box. If you want to use 1.4.6 you can but you will
- need to make the following fix:
- In the file "Opimization.h" in the More Files package you
- need to remove the line "#pragma internal on". And in the
- file "OptimazationEnd.h" you need to remove the line
- "#pragma internal reset".
- Note: the version of MoreFile downloaded from the Sun Tcl/Tk site
- will have the fix included. (If you want you can send email to
- Jim Luther suggesting that he use Tcl for regression testing!)
