Comments on building tcl/tk for AMD64 with the MS SDK compiler

==============================================================



I did have to build tcl/tk manually.



First, I had to build the nmakehlp.exe helper utility manually by executing

   cl nmakehlp.c /link bufferoverflowU.lib

in both the tcl8.4.12\win and tk8.4.12\win directories.



Second, the AMD64 compiler refuses to compile the file

tcl8.4.12\generic\tclExecute.c because it insists on using intrinsics

for the 'ceil' and 'floor' functions:



  ..\generic\tclExecute.c(394) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant

  ..\generic\tclExecute.c(398) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant



I did comment out these lines; an alternative would have been to use

the /Oi- compiler flag to disable the intrinsic functions.

The commands then used were these:



   svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/external/tcl8.4.12

   cd tcl8.4.12\win

   REM

   echo patch the tcl8.4.12\generic\tclExecute.c file

   pause 

   REM

   cl nmakehlp.c /link bufferoverflowU.lib

   nmake -f makefile.vc MACHINE=AMD64

   nmake -f makefile.vc INSTALLDIR=..\..\tcltk install

   cd ..\..

   svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/external/tk8.4.12

   cd tk8.4.12\win

   cl nmakehlp.c /link bufferoverflowU.lib

   nmake -f makefile.vc TCLDIR=..\..\tcl8.4.12 MACHINE=AMD64

   nmake -f makefile.vc TCLDIR=..\..\tcl8.4.12 INSTALLDIR=..\..\tcltk install

   cd ..\..
