TCL File Eval syntax from a C++

[mbitzko]

I have a main C++ program which interfaces to TCL. I can source a TCL file so long as it has an explicit file path which works well:

Tcl_EvalFile( interp, "c:/Software/emPackage.tcl" );

However, when I try to make it a little more location independent, it fails to locate the file


Tcl_EvalFile( interp, "[file join [file dirname [info script]] emPackage.tcl]" );


What is the best way to make a software package location independ, since users may install it in a variety of different locations?

If I get you right you want to create the file name at runtime and pass it to the Tcl_EvalFile function. It seems you think that the string passed to this function is evaluated by the interpreter. AFAIK this is not true, instead the string is processed as it is.
So you have to do the file name construction stuff in C/C++ as well.

Was that it?
