I found out that Peter Weilbacher has built TCL8.5.0 for someone on
a porting forum. I will try it at home and see if it works on openMSX. :)
It's weird do keep answering myself, but I believe it's nice to give some
feedback for others who are following this.
I was able to rebuild TCL using Paul's Environment and Paul's GCC4.3.3.
After that and a lot of struggles so openMSX configure process correctly
detected the installed TCL libraries and headers, openMSX compiled with
some minor warnings ... which seems related to the old GNU AS version
being used.
The result was a giant openmsx.exe (about 130MB) which is simply hanging
the OS/2 Window:
[K:\openmsx-0.7.0\derived\x86-os2-devel\bin]openmsx
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'openmsx::FileException'
terminate called recursively
Killed by SIGABRT
pid=0x10f3 ppid=0x1096 tid=0x0001 slot=0x00d2 pri=0x0200 mc=0x0001
K:\OPENMSX-0.7.0\DERIVED\X86-OS2-DEVEL\BIN\OPENMSX.EXE
Process has been dumped
I am trying to compile it without debug information and low optimization
to see if a smaller EXE cause a little less trouble... this is a slow testing
because the compilation process takes about one hour.
There is some progress here. I just don't know if I will be able to
make this pile of code into a working piece of software. :P
UPDATE:
Finished the compiling without debug information. EXE is now 16MB...
But the problem stated above persists. Besides the fact it says "Process
has been dumped", I found the dump nowhere.
Also, I do not even know where to start looking for the problem. I have
never been faced with such an ugly problem in a program that takes
forever to build (strangely, on Linux it will take too long only in the first
build, in the next ones it will build only changed files... on OS/2 it is
building everything everytime).
Nice that you give feedback although obviously no one here can help you. Too sad that I don't even get Pauls build enviroment working....
Maybe you get more help at irc/netlabs.org

Yeah, sorry man. I tried my hand at getting TerraIM to compile but I've no experience with programming and a crash wiki course is not nearly enough.
