Tcl This package and the next two (Expect and DejaGNU) are installed to support running the test suites for Binutils, GCC and other packages. Installing three packages for testing purposes may seem excessive, but it is very reassuring, if not essential, to know that the most important tools are working properly. Prepare Tcl for compilation: SRCDIR=$(pwd) cd unix ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --mandir=/usr/share/man Build the package: make sed -e "s|$SRCDIR/unix|/usr/lib|" \ -e "s|$SRCDIR|/usr/include|" \ -i tclConfig.sh sed -e "s|$SRCDIR/unix/pkgs/tdbc&tdbc-ver;|/usr/lib/tdbc&tdbc-ver;|" \ -e "s|$SRCDIR/pkgs/tdbc&tdbc-ver;/generic|/usr/include|" \ -e "s|$SRCDIR/pkgs/tdbc&tdbc-ver;/library|/usr/lib/tcl8.6|" \ -e "s|$SRCDIR/pkgs/tdbc&tdbc-ver;|/usr/include|" \ -i pkgs/tdbc&tdbc-ver;/tdbcConfig.sh sed -e "s|$SRCDIR/unix/pkgs/itcl&itcl-ver;|/usr/lib/itcl&itcl-ver;|" \ -e "s|$SRCDIR/pkgs/itcl&itcl-ver;/generic|/usr/include|" \ -e "s|$SRCDIR/pkgs/itcl&itcl-ver;|/usr/include|" \ -i pkgs/itcl&itcl-ver;/itclConfig.sh unset SRCDIR The various sed instructions after the make command remove references to the build directory from the configuration files and replace them with the install directory. This is not mandatory for the remainder of LFS, but may be needed if a package built later uses Tcl. To test the results, issue: make test Install the package: make install Make the installed library writable so debugging symbols can be removed later: chmod -v u+w /usr/lib/libtcl&tcl-major-version;.so Install Tcl's headers. The next package, Expect, requires them. make install-private-headers Now make a necessary symbolic link: ln -sfv tclsh&tcl-major-version; /usr/bin/tclsh Rename a man page that conflicts with a Perl man page: mv /usr/share/man/man3/{Thread,Tcl_Thread}.3 Optionally, install the documentation by issuing the following commands: cd .. tar -xf ../tcl&tcl-version;-html.tar.gz --strip-components=1 mkdir -v -p /usr/share/doc/tcl-&tcl-version; cp -v -r ./html/* /usr/share/doc/tcl-&tcl-version; Installed programs Installed library tclsh (link to tclsh&tcl-major-version;) and tclsh&tcl-major-version; libtcl&tcl-major-version;.so and libtclstub&tcl-major-version;.a Short Descriptions tclsh&tcl-major-version; The Tcl command shell tclsh&tcl-major-version; tclsh A link to tclsh&tcl-major-version; tclsh libtcl&tcl-major-version;.so The Tcl library libtcl&tcl-major-version;.so libtclstub&tcl-major-version;.a The Tcl Stub library libtclstub&tcl-major-version;.a
