Installation of TCL
This package and the next two are only installed to be able to run the
test suites for GCC and Binutils. Installing three packages just for for
testing purposes may seem like overkill, but it is very reassuring, if not
essential, to know that our most important tools are working properly.
Prepare Tcl to be compiled:
cd unix
./configure --prefix=/tools
Build, test, and install the package:
make
make -k test
make install
Note that several of the tests may fail (for exmple the clock test).
This is, however, not a problem: the program will work well enough to be able
to run the GCC and Binutils test suites.
Make a link:
ln -s tclsh8.4 /tools/bin/tclsh
Do not remove the
tcl&tcl-version; source directory yet, as the next package
will need its internal headers.
