It also build dynamic Tcl commands instead of C files intended to be compiled. Thus, only one extension is needed whatever the text data type can be. Also, I try to answer all the mails users send me regarding tcLex. If you want to compile tcLex yourself, you must know that it needs the Tcl source to compile because it makes use of some internal structures. It will compile with Tcl 8.0, 8.1 or 8.2.
Precompiled libraries are available in a separate binary distribution.
However, you can compile the extension yourself. The Makefile generates a pkgIndex.tcl file that is compatible with Tcl7.6 and later. You can take a look at the makefile for Windows. Three precompiled libraries are provided in the binary distribution, named tcLex80.dll, tcLex81.dll and tcLex82.dll, respectively for Tcl 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2. No binary distribution for now.
