XOTcl

XOTcl is an object oriented extension for Tcl and required part of OpenACS installations since TIP #87. The OpenACS package xotcl-core provides base functionality and integration with the OpenACS framework.

The current version of XOTcl is 1.6.7. Read about XOTcl motivations and feature from http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/whatIsXOTcl.html. For more details about XOTcl, see XOTcl Homepage.

INSTALLATION of XOTcl:

One can get XOTcl e.g. in binary form from debian or it can be complied from source. The following instructions describe, how to compile XOTcl from source.

Get, compile and install XOTcl

Get xotcl-1.6.7:
```
 cd /usr/local/src
 wget http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/xotcl-1.6.7.tar.gz
 tar zxvf xotcl-1.6.7.tar.gz         
```
The following commands can be used to compile XOTcl and install it into the appropriate places of the specified aolserver. We assume that the aolserver is installed under /usr/local/aolserver:
```
 cd xotcl-1.6.7 
 CC=gcc;export CC 
 ./configure --enable-threads --enable-symbols --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver --exec-prefix=/usr/local/aolserver --with-tcl=/usr/src/tcl8.4.16/unix
```
Use appropriate paths for aolserver4 and your tcl version.
```
make 
make install-aol
```
After the "make install-aol" from the XOTcl sources, a file xotcl.tcl is installed in the directory /usr/local/aolserver/modules/tcl/ that handles .xotcl files and XOTcl serialization in the aolserver.
Restart your aolserver to load xotcl.
