[vtk-developers] vtkTclUtil.cxx

[Lorensen, William E (Research)]

I can modify the #if to run on the alpha as follows:

#if (TCL_MAJOR_VERSION == 8) && (TCL_MINOR_VERSION >= 4 && TCL_RELEASE_LEVEL != TCL_ALPHA_RELEASE)

what do you think?

Bill

Bill,

Can you please have a look at:
         - caleb
         - ct02_oc
         - kulu
         - manifold

and make sure you are *not* using Tcl/Tk 8.4.0 *beta* or *alpha* ? If I 
remember correctly, this is the case for some of these computers.

The Tcl/Tk 8.4.0 *final* was released about 10 days ago:
http://tcl.sourceforge.net/

Some signatures have changed, a lot of char* have been changed to const 
char* (Tcl_CreateCommand, Tcl_GetInt, etc.).
I've made the changes yesterday to the render widgets and vtkTclUtils, by 
testing which Tcl/Tk version is in use (#if TCL_MAJOR =, etc.), but the 
beta and alpha release does not comply with the final API.

I doubt we should maintain alpha/beta support.

This should help some of these 4 dashboards. If some of them are running 
8.4.0 final already, or 8.3, let me know and I'll have a more thorough look.

Thank you
