puzzling documentation

[Drew <dr...@no6.com>]

I'm not on the mailing list so reply directly to me...

the documentation at http://tcl.apache.org/mod_dtcl/documentation.ttml
says
"You don't need the Apache sources if you are building a shared object
module."
Ok, great, I don't have the source, so Ill build it shared. I comment
out location of source in buildtcl.sh as it says
[root@avvid mod_dtcl]# ./builddtcl.sh shared
Using /usr/bin/tclsh as tclsh program
Apache in
Apache includes in /usr/include/apache/
make: Nothing to be done for `shared'.
ok... next step.
./builddtcl.sh install (Not necessary if it is a shared object build)
ok so i skip that, next is
cd ../apache-1.3.X
how do i do that without the source?
so I skip all that stuff and just do the
LoadModule dtcl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_dtcl.so
and
AddType application/x-httpd-tcl .ttml
AddType application/x-dtcl-tcl .tcl
and when i create a .ttml script my browsers prompt me to download the
file

?

It's a pretty low traffic list, especially when the mod_dtcl author
ends up without net access for a month:-(

Oops, that's not quite accurate, is it.  You *do* have to have the
header files.  I guess I'm spoiled by Debian, which includes the
header files in a seperate package;-)

Is this indeed true?

copy the shared object into the directory that has all the other .so
files.  On my box, they are in /usr/lib/apache/1.3/.

Sorry for the slow response, have been off line for a long time.

Fixed, thanks!

While you are updating the doc, on the "Download" part the last cvs line is
bogus.
It should be :
cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@www.apache.org:/home/cvspublic checkout tcl-moddtcl
instead of
cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@www.apache.org:/home/cvspublic checkout tcl-mod_dtcl

I've reworked the documentation page a bit.  Is it clearer/more
logical now?
