     zint tcl binding readme

     (C) Harald Oehlmann
+    (C) Git Lost
     harald.oehlmann@users.sourceforge.net
 
 What: tcl binding for zint bar code generator library
 
 Build:
 The header files of a TCL and Tk build are required for the build.
+They are included in a TCL/Tk source tree or in an installed TCL/Tk.
 
-- MS-VC6 project file "zint_tcl.dsp" may be opened by the GUI.
-- Linux/Unix build is provided by the configure script.
-  Thanks to Christian Werner for that.
+There are 3 build environments available:
+- configure based build system for Linux/MacOS/MSYS/CYGWIN (Windows)
+ Contributed by Christian Werner.
+- win/Makefile.vc for TCL/Tk MS-Visual Studio build environment
+- zint_tcl.vxproj for interactive VisualStudio build.
 
 Usage:
 
-load zint.dll
+package require zint
 zint help
 
 Most options are identical to the command line tool.

+# 0. Sanity check that compiler environment is set up and initialize
+#    any built-in settings from the parent makefile
+# 1. First define the external tools used for compiling, copying etc.
+#    as this is independent of everything else.
+# 2. Figure out our build structure in terms of the directory, whether
+#    we are building Tcl or an extension, etc.
+# 3. Determine the compiler and linker versions
+# 4. Build the nmakehlp helper application
+# 5. Determine the supported compiler options and features
+# 6. Extract Tcl, Tk, and possibly extensions, version numbers from the
+#    headers
+# 7. Parse the OPTS macro value for user-specified build configuration
+# 8. Parse the STATS macro value for statistics instrumentation
+# 9. Parse the CHECKS macro for additional compilation checks
+# 10. Based on this selected configuration, construct the output
+#     directory and file paths
+# 11. Construct the paths where the package is to be installed
+# 12. Set up the actual options passed to compiler and linker based
+#     on the information gathered above.
+# 13. Define some standard build targets and implicit rules. These may
+#     be optionally disabled by the parent makefile.
+# 14. (For extensions only.) Compare the configuration of the target
+#     Tcl and the extensions and warn against discrepancies.
