1 I was highly surprised that TclX package, which provides a lot of
2 Unix-specific functionality for Tcl doesn't provide interface to syslog.
4 So, I've designed my own package.
6 It is not fully TEA-compliant extension yet, becouse I haven't just
7 got time for writing proper autoconf configuration, but should be fairly
8 easy to configure and build by anybody who knows what syslog is and why
11 This version is designed for Tcl 8.1 and above. It is unicode-aware and
12 convert messages to current system encoding before sending them to
13 syslog. And it uses stubs.
15 If you use tcl 8.0.x go and get tclsyslog-1.1
17 Home site of this package is at
19 http://www.ice.ru/~vitus/works/tcl.html#syslog
23 1. Edit variables on the top of Makefile
25 3. Test extension by loading it into tclsh via load ./libsyslog.so.2.0
26 and sending couple of messages from command line
27 4. Verify that PREFIX variable set so that ${PREFIX}/lib is included in
28 your tcl_pkgPath (or set LIBDIR to directory in tcl_pkgPath)
30 Note that GNU install is assumed. Use install-sh provided in tcl
31 distribution if your install is not GNU install
