tcl3270 Build and Install Instructions

To build tcl3270, type:

    make

To install tcl3270 in the default install directory (/usr/local), type:

    make install

To install in a different directory, add an INSTALLDIR= clause to the make command, e.g.:

    make install INSTALLDIR=/tools

Notes on the tcl Library

tcl3270 uses tcl 8.2, and assumes that tcl has been installed in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib. If you have a different version of tcl, or it is installed in different directories, you may need to edit the Makefile before building tcl3270.

tcl3270 has not been tested with earlier versions of tcl.

Notes for Solaris 2.x and Sun's C Compiler

Do not use Sun's BSD-compatibility compiler, /usr/ucb/cc. This is good advice in general, but in particular, tcl3270 will not build with it. If you have installed Sun's unbundled C compiler and have /usr/ucb in your $PATH before /usr/ccs/bin, then you might be using /usr/ucb/cc by accident. The workaround is to explicitly specify the compiler path to make:

make CC=/usr/ccs/bin/cc
