TclCurl package to provide Curl support in Tcl.

TclCurl - get a URL with FTP, TELNET, LDAP, DICT, FILE, HTTP or HTTPS syntax.

Introduction

TclCurl gives the Tcl programmer access to the facilities of libcurl. For more information about what libcurl is capable of check https://curl.se/

To make type:

  ./configure ?--enable-threads?
  make
  make install

The configure script will deduce $PREFIX from the tcl installation. The generated Makefile uses the file $PREFIX/lib/tclConfig.sh that was left by the make of tcl for most of its configuration parameters.

There is another file, ReadMeW32.txt, to explain how to compile in Windows.

Troubleshooting

If you are running Red Hat or Fedora and you are compiling from source, make sure the directory /usr/local/lib is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf, if it isn't add it before installing cURL.

If the configure script doesn't detect Tcl even though it is there, it is probably because there is no tclConfig.sh file, maybe you need to install a tcl-devel package or maybe it would be a good idea to download the latest version, and install that.
