IRC [08:36] <frankie> Dossy: i'm a very lazy blogger
IRC [08:36] <frankie> Dossy: generally debian-related
IRC [09:11] <Dossy> *nod* that's cool--just wondering if I should (a) add it to Planet AOLserver, (b) subscribe to it for my own reading :)
IRC [09:27] <frankie> i doubt both, maybe planet.debian.org is a much more interesting reading often
IRC [09:33] <Dossy> heh, ok :-)
IRC [11:47] *** _justq_ joined the chat.
IRC [12:11] <_justq_> Hi, I'm trying to compile libthread for Aolserver windows and I couldn't get the .so in order to put it in the bin directory to load it from the config.tcl. Do you have an idea what am I doing wrong ? I'm just compiling it with nmake -f makefile.vc TCLDIR=c:\tcl\
IRC [12:11] <Dossy> what versions of everything are you using/
IRC [12:12] <_justq_> Windows Server 2003, Aolserver 4.5, Tcl 8.4.16,
IRC [12:12] <Dossy> VC?
IRC [12:12] <_justq_> the Visual STudio 8
IRC [12:12] <_justq_> the same that is in the wiki page
IRC [12:12] <_justq_> of AolServer on wind
IRC [12:12] <_justq_> :)
IRC [12:12] <Dossy> uh, no
IRC [12:12] <Dossy> which wiki page are you talking about?
IRC [12:12] <_justq_> this one:
IRC [12:15] <Dossy> Is anyone here actively using nsoracle?
IRC [12:15] <_justq_> http://panoptic.com/wiki/aolserver/How_to_build_AOLserver_on_Win32
IRC [12:15] <_justq_> I'm using oracle every day :-)
IRC [12:15] <_justq_> on windows and linux
IRC [12:16] <_justq_> and therefore, nsoracle
IRC [12:17] <_justq_> it is Visual STudio 2003 but it is not available anymore and I was redirected to Visual Studio express 2005 which I have installed
IRC [12:18] <Dossy> yeah, there's likely to be differences--I haven't tested
IRC [12:18] <Dossy> also, the build for Tcl changed in 8.4.15 in some ways--not sure how they affect Win32
IRC [12:19] <Dossy> 1) Why are you trying to build Win32 from source? Unless you're prepared to do a bunch of hacking of the build machinery (Makefiles, etc.), you might want to stay away for now.
IRC [12:19] <_justq_> yes, but I haven't had any probs yet with tcl
IRC [12:19] <Dossy> 2) Why are you on Win32? What are you working on that's actually going to deploy on Win32?
IRC [12:20] <_justq_> I need to run oacs natively on windows, it's just the main and most important requirement :(..... and yes, client will the deploy the system on win32 now, eventually they will move to w64 but not now
IRC [12:22] <_justq_> I've almost got a native version of aolserver 4.5 for windows thanks the Marizciano who sent a link the binary version for it but this version is missing libthread and that's whay I'm trying to compile it
IRC [12:23] <_justq_> libthred compiles , I mean I don't get errors
IRC [12:23] <_justq_> but I never got the .so
IRC [12:26] <Dossy> right, on windows you should get a .dll
IRC [12:26] <_justq_> I got this guy
IRC [12:27] <_justq_> thread26.dll
IRC [12:27] <Dossy> right.
IRC [12:27] <_justq_> :-)
IRC [12:30] <_justq_> but in my config.tcl file
IRC [12:30] <Dossy> I don't think you load the Tcl thread library in your config.tcl
IRC [12:30] <Dossy> It should be loaded through the [package require] machinery.
IRC [12:31] <_justq_> that's my problem exactly
IRC [12:31] <_justq_> I don't know how to load the libthread
IRC [12:31] <_justq_> I was following the same steps
IRC [12:31] <_justq_> that they do with other modules
IRC [12:32] <_justq_> ns_param nssock ${bindir}/nssock.so
IRC [12:32] <_justq_> ns_param nslog ${bindir}/nslog.so
IRC [12:32] <_justq_> ns_param nssha1 ${bindir}/nssha1.so
IRC [12:32] <_justq_> ns_param nscache ${bindir}/nscache.so
IRC [12:32] <_justq_> and actually
IRC [12:32] <Dossy> I just said, you DON'T load it like that.
IRC [12:33] <_justq_> ok, Could you please tell me how can I use the [package require] machinery to load it ?
IRC [12:36] <Dossy> I don't know--I don't use the module.
IRC [12:36] <_justq_> ok, thanks for attention anyway :), I will keep trying to fix the makefile.vc
IRC [12:37] <Dossy> But, if you install it correctly, you should be able to just add "package require Thread" to your code that requires the Tcl Thread package, and it should load it.
IRC [12:37] <Dossy> this isn't a makefile issue, if you've got a .dll
IRC [12:57] <_justq_> Thanks Dossy, I'll let u know what's my story at the end
