I think you're using tash841a? If so, there should be two .a's in the src/ directory, libtcl84.a and libtk.a. These are what GNAT needs as interfaces to tcl84.dll and tk84.dll -- at least, they would be for the Cygwin versions. I'm having trouble rebuilding them for Cygwin (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION when passing a chars_ptr, from memory), I don't right now know whether the ones in the distribution would work for me ... However, you say Tcl is in C:\Tcl so I suspect you have an ActiveState release. Hmm, not sure how to go about that. Anyone? Anyway, it doesn't matter so much what -L is so long as it's right, but you need to pass the libraries into the Linker as "-ltcl84", "-ltk84".

I think they are not .a's but .lib's, possibly because I am not a Cygwinner. If I keep the -L and add the -l, I am back at not finding the references Tcl_*. If I replace the -L with -l, the linker cannot find -ltcl84, so I am back at thinking that I have wrong names for the references, possibly because the sources I loaded was intended for *nix?

However, I've just had a happy 3 hours (see http://tcladashell.wiki.sourceforge.net/DevelopingOnWindows2000) and the conclusion -- assuming you are using ActiveState's Tcl, please confirm! -- is that you probably need to say -LC:\Tcl\lib -ltk84 -ltcl84 (that's what worked for me; GNAT GPL 2007 is happy with .lib files -- when did that happen?) --S (First posting via Google Groups, blasted news.demon.co.uk seems always to fall over on Sundays!)

This is very strange! Yes, I've downloaded Tcl/Tk 8.4 from ActiveState. I use the switches you use, Simon, resulting in gnatlink c:\users\petter\ada\tash\apps\plang.ali -g -LC:\Tcl\lib - ltcl84 -ltk84 -o c:\users\petter\ada\tash\bin\plang.exe This still can not find Tcl_GetRefCount and others similar. I loaded Tash once again, but cannot see any differences. Regards, Petter |
