<p>
Tcl support is not built automatically. See <a href="../programmer_reference/tcl.html#tcl_intro" class="olink">Loading Berkeley DB with Tcl</a>
for information on sites from which you can download Tcl
and which Tcl versions are compatible with Berkeley DB.
These notes assume that Tcl is installed as
<code class="filename">d:\tcl</code>, but you can change that
if you want.
</p>
<p>
The Tcl library must be built as the same build type as
the Berkeley DB library (both Release or both Debug). We
found that the binary release of Tcl can be used with the
Release configuration of Berkeley DB, but you will need to
build Tcl from sources for the Debug configuration. Before
building Tcl, you will need to modify its makefile to make
sure that you are building a debug version, including
thread support. This is because the set of DLLs linked
into the Tcl executable must match the corresponding set
of DLLs used by Berkeley DB.

To build, right-click on db_tcl and select
Build. This builds the Tcl support library for
Berkeley DB, placing the result into one of the
following Berkeley DB subdirectories, depending
upon the configuration that you chose:

<p>
If you use a version different from Tcl 8.6.x you will
need to change the name of the Tcl library used in the
build (for example, <code class="filename">tcl86.lib</code>) to the
appropriate name. To do this, right click on
<span class="emphasis"><em>db_tcl</em></span>, go to
<span class="emphasis"><em>Properties -> Linker -> Input ->
Additional dependencies</em></span> and change
the filename to match the Tcl version you are using.
