Eggdrop Won't run in BackGround

2008-12-29T12:36:40-04:00

It is fixed in eggdrop 1.6.20 cvs, and thus it will be fixed in the next official release of eggdrop. But for now just do the above, it is easiest.

...
Edit: The above also works. Seems ./configure isn't setting this.

Due to changes in the internal layout of tcl since 8.5.x, the configure script cannot detect threaded libraries using the "old" hack, and thus think it's non-threaded. This issue has been known for a rather long time, yet no suitable solution has been decided/implemented sofar.

You'll find a few threads on this forum regarding this issue aswell if you do alittle searching.

Well, I just recompiled my Tcl without threads, and then eggdrop went into background again just fine. Tcl 8.5.5.

I'm sure the above option would have worked too but this seemed easier at the time.

i have same problem.
I tried adding #define HAVE_TCL_THREADS with no luck. Any other guess?

I'm running on a Virtual Machine with Ubuntu

EDIT

My fault, i tryed a make clean with no succes, still stuck when backgrounded, then i completely deleted eggdrop/ and eggdrop1.16.19/, re-extracted the src and recompiled with the HAVE_TCL_THREADS mod in eggdrop.h and everything worked fine.

Thanks

Most likely an issue with threaded tcl-libraries not being properly detected.

Try editing eggdrop.h after running ./configure, and define the HAVE_TCL_THREADS macro, then recompile.

Hey,

I have a real problem and I cant seem to find the solution anywhere. When I run the bot with ./eggdrop -n it runs fine and connects everything is swell.

However, when I do ./eggdrop it runs in the background but it doesnt seem to Connect to the IRC network.

I have the user file and everything it just wont run in BG.

What could be wrong?

Thanks guys!
