mysqltcl - for dummies

Post by TC^^ »

Is it at all possible to install mysqltcl if you don't have any basic understanding of compiling and have no clue what to to with all the files that comes with mysqltcl-3.01.tar.gz?!

I've gone over alot of text and helpfiles, mostly aquired at http://www.xdobry.de/, and used hours browsing this forum to find any usefull help, but I can't find enough help to install mysqltcl with my experience.

I have yet to find a really simple explanation, a step by step guide if you will, suitable for someone with nearly no experience with Linux, and what not.. :?

Can someone direct me to a guide, documentation or some kind of explanation I can use?.. or should I just give up :(

Well.. I got this far..

Finally figured out how to compile the .so file.. But now I have run into a wall again.. I have compiled the libmysqltcl3.01.so file, and copied it to the module directory of the bot.. Then I've added "loadmodule libmysqltcl3.01.so" to the bots config file.

The bot then starts with this message:

Did I skip some important steps in installing the module? Or does it need some more information in the config file?

Can someone please help?

Hehe I got no clue about MySQLTCL but i HIGHLY doubt you load it as module ;)

I'd say you compile and install it and then use "package require mysqltcl" or something in your Tcl script....

have you added in the .conf file 'loadmodule libmysqltcl' to load the module? To use a module you'll have to load it first Kappa007.

libmysqltcl is not an eggdrop module but a Tcl extension; it should have been installed where your Tcl libraries are when you did make install; then you load it in your scripts by declaring:

Code: Select all

package require mysqltcl
connection, sharing, dcc problems? click <here>
before asking for scripting help, read <this>
use

Code: Select all

 tag when posting logs, code
