%25center%25How to load a Tcl script in Eggdrop



As a reminder, you can look at the bottom of the config file included with Eggdrop for an example of how to load Tcl scripts on your Eggdrop. Assuming the script is located in the scripts folder of your Eggdrop's directlry, simply add the line 'source scripts/scriptname.tcl` and rehash the Eggdrop. To remove a script, remove the source line and restart (not rehash!) the Eggdrop.

 

Some scripts require additional packages to be installed above what is installed as part of a 'vanilla' Tcl install. You'll know you need this if you see an error similar to:

%25center%25Tcl error in file 'eggdrop.conf':

	can't find package tls

		while executing

        "package require tls"

or

	Tcl error in file 'eggdrop.conf':

	can't find package json

    	while executing

	"package require json"



When trying to run a script. On debian-based systems, the easiest way to install these libraries is to run 

sudo apt-get install tcl-tls 

to install the TLS Tcl library,

 sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-tcl 

for the sqlite Tcl library, and

 sudo apt-get install tcllib 

for just about everything else.

If that doesn't work, than manually install tcl

 

wget https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcltls/uv/tcltls-1.7.22.tar.gz

tar -xzf tcltls-1.7.22.tar.gz

rm -rf tcltls-1.7.22.tar.gz

cd tcltls-1.7.22

./configure

make (as root)

make install



If that did help, or you got a error like:

configure: error: Unable to get OpenSSL Configuration

than you should install some extra packages

sudo apt-get install -y autoconf g++ make openssl libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev

sudo apt-get install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config

sudo apt-get install -y libsasl2-dev
