configure unfortunately does not include the tcl library
for linking libpgtcl.so on AIX :-(
In the meantime Jacques, your tcl installation should have a shared
tcl library (libtcl8.2.so) or better yet an *.exp, which you can include
in the above link command.
In the shell manually execute the link, like:
cd src/pl/tcl
gcc -O2 -pipe -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes \-Wmissing-declarations -Wl,-H512 \-Wl,-bM:SRE
-Wl,-bI:../../../src/backend/postgres.imp\-Wl,-bE:libpgtcl.exp -o \libpgtcl.so libpgtcl.a
-L../../../src/interfaces/libpq-lpq -lc \ -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-bI:/usr/local/lib/libtcl8.2.exp
The above addition could be generated with TCL_LIB_SPEC.
The -L/usr/local/lib is also essential to avoid runtime hassles,
why is this actually not automatic, since --with-libraries was used ?
Would a patch for src/pl/tcl/Makefile still be accepted for 7.2 ?
