Tcl support is not built automatically. See - Loading Berkeley DB with Tcl for -information on sites from which you can download Tcl and which Tcl -versions are compatible with Berkeley DB. These notes assume that Tcl is -installed as d:\tcl, but you can change that if you want.

The Tcl library must be built as the same build type as the Berkeley DB -library (both Release or both Debug). We found that the binary -release of Tcl can be used with the Release configuration of Berkeley DB, -but you will need to build Tcl from sources for the Debug -configuration. Before building Tcl, you will need to modify its -makefile to make sure that you are building a debug version, including -thread support. This is because the set of DLLs linked into the Tcl -executable must match the corresponding set of DLLs used by Berkeley DB.

Set the include directories. -
- -In Visual Studio 2005/Visual Studio 2008 - -Choose Tools -> Options --> Projects -> VC++ Directories. Under the "Show -directories for" pull-down, select "Include files". Add the full -pathname for d:\tcl\include, then click OK. -
- -In Visual Studio 2010 - Right-click db_java project, choose Properties->Configuration Properties-> VC++ Directories->Include Directories. -Add the full pathnames for d:\tcl\include, then click OK. -
-This is the -directory that contains tcl.h.
Set the library files directory. -
- -In Visual Studio 2005/Visual Studio 2008 - -Choose Tools -> -Options -> Projects -> VC++ Directories. Under the "Show -directories for" pull-down, select "Library files". Add the full -pathname for the d:\tcl\lib directory, then click OK. -
- -In Visual Studio 2010 - Right-click db_java project, choose Properties->Configuration Properties-> VC++ Directories->Library Directories. Add the full pathname for the d:\tcl\lib directory, then click OK. -
- -This is the directory needed to find -tcl85g.lib (or whatever the -library is named in your distribution).
Set the build type to Release or Debug in the drop-down on the -tool bar.
-
- To build, right-click on db_tcl and select Build. This builds the Tcl - support library for Berkeley DB, placing the result into one of the - following Berkeley DB subdirectories, depending upon the - configuration that you chose: -

If you use a version different from Tcl 8.5.x you will -need to change the name of the Tcl library used in the build (for -example, tcl85g.lib) to the -appropriate name. To do this, right click on db_tcl, go to -Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional -dependencies and change -tcl85g.lib to match the Tcl -version you are using.
