Can anyone tell me what modifications need to be made in order to
compile with Tcl APIs support for release 4.1.25 for win_32?

From the docs it seems that the current release was written for Tcl
8.3d. I tried to modify the db_tcl project and compile the db_test
project in debug mode. It compiled without errors, but when I ran the
test suite every test failed. I am using a Visual Studio .NET beta 2.
(P.S. the java example seemed to work so it seems as if I'm missing
something in regards to linking the correct files for Tcl support.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

Do you mean, what modifications have to be made to support
Tcl 8.4.4.0 on Berkeley DB 4.1.25? You'd actually have to
change the Tcl interface code in a way that's not backwards
compatible to Tcl 8.3. The next release of Berkeley DB, 4.2,
will require Tcl 8.4.

Anyway, I'd recommend sticking with Tcl 8.3 (debug, as you
say) for Berkeley DB 4.1.25. We have successfully run the
test suite using Tcl 8.3 on Berkeley DB 4.1.25 compiling with
..NET. If you tell me the nature of the errors in the test
suite (and whether you were working with Tcl 8.4 or Tcl 8.3
at the time), maybe I can figure out what was going wrong there.
