Recent commentsRe: Caution - bugs remain
I tested your solution and everything went fine during "make"
It came up with the following error during "make install":
Renamed the old 'eggdrop' executable to 'oeggdrop'.
Copying new 'eggdrop' executable and creating symlink.
install: eggdrop does not exist
make: *** [install-bin] Error 1
When I execute oeggdrop
I had to copy all the *.so files from the eggdrop dir to a modules subdir where it was searching for them.
Once I've done that...

Yes it will, but you need to modify the srcroot Makefile to have "SHLIB_LD = gcc -pipe -shared". For some reason configure neglects to set -shared although it is required.
I haven't tested wether it will actually run though. :-)

I have a Tcl script on freshmeat - Eddie's Extensions (http://freshmeat.net/projects/eddie42) - still under developement. ;-)
Re: eggdrop tcl scripts
There is a search engine for locating tcl scripts that are stored in any of the major eggdrop Tcl public archives. The search engine is at:

Re: gone downhill since 1.1.5
I think that 1.6.x is much better than the older versions, but somewhere after 1.4.4 a lot of problems with unicode came up which kinda ruined the whole 1.6.x series in some way...
But 1.6.x still rulez :)
