Update, configuring and compiling TCL version

2017-04-18T13:03:25-04:00

A) I think you have to recompile the eggdrop again to "see" the newer version of TCL.

Several years ago I installed the eggdrop, I honestly do not remember how it is recompiled.
Do I have to remove the bots from the IRC for that task?
Could you help me with that?

Edit: I was able to achieve it but with negative results for my scripts.

A) I think you have to recompile the eggdrop again to "see" the newer version of TCL.

B) I use Mint Linux that uses relies on Ubuntu's repository and they have TCL version 8.4.16-2

C & D) It should be backwards compatible unless some features have been deprecated and thus removed/replaced with something else. In case of problems you can always remove the version you just installed and return to CentOS's TCL version by installing it back via yum. This is why i told you to remove it via yum before installing the 8.6.6 version.

If you do:
Code:
yum list tcl tcl-devel
what's the result?

Paquetes instalados
tcl.x86_64 1:8.5.13-8.el7 @base
tcl-devel.x86_64 1:8.5.13-8.el7 @base
Paquetes disponibles
tcl.i686 1:8.5.13-8.el7 base
tcl-devel.i686 1:8.5.13-8.el7 base

If you go the path I said above...

I only downloaded the file to see if the link worked.
The doubts I have are:
A) is it compatible with my eggdrop v1.6.21 or is it indifferent to the version of eggdrop you have?
B) TCL 8.6.6 version does not appear in the yum list as package available that means some compatibility problem?
C) can affect or give some error with my previous scripts?
D) Is the change reversible (downgrade) if it gives me some error in my scripts that I have for several years?

Update, configuring and compiling TCL version

If you do:

Code:

yum list tcl tcl-devel

what's the result?

I had 8.6.5 installed and I'm installing 8.6.6 now with:

Code:

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.6.6-src.tar.gztar zxf tcl8.6.6-src.tar.gzcd tcl8.6.6/unixconfigure optionsmakemake testmake install

Edit: And done without any errors.

If you go the path I said above be sure to remove the current version first with:

Code:

yum remove tcl

then continue with the steps.

I was reading to inform me of the update of the version of my TCL, here and here.

Because my English is very basic, I want a summary, step of step, of how to do these tasks without making mistakes.

Data:

running eggdrop v1.6.21
OS: Linux 3.10.23-xxxx-std-ipv6-64-vps (CentOS 64 bits)
Tcl library: /usr/share/tcl8.5
Tcl version: 8.5.13 (header version 8.5.13)
